They should roll the bike course back to 5 years ago. Message for Mr Caress : Bring back the old bike course.

Yup.  I would never pay the money they askk to do the current course.  And add the run back out to the (4th street?) bridge

The swim course sucks and the run course sucks. Will never do this race again!

a large portion of that bike course is on my regular route! it's not terribly exciting. from what you guys are saying, the past courses are definitely much more interesting!

Is there anything about this race that is good?

Bad run and bike courses, the swim at Venice Beach is at a time of year when the surf gets big & nasty (and dangerous), the point-to-point/two transition areas course design, the over-priced entry fee & bus ticket to get back to Venice, etc...

On the plus side, it is a big race, very competitive, and it does span the city. Sorry, the pluses don't weigh strong enough against the negatives. I'll not be back (did it twice).

The swim is great.  It's a real test, and the set-up is good.  The bike course should revert to the earlier course through part of Hollywood.  The existing run course should be scrapped.  A few hills are fine, but Grand street is nothing but physical abuse (The downhill).
