When: September 29, 2024

The best thing(s) about the race:
• Bike course was run and well-marked
• DJ
• BBQ food truck (with options for veggie and gluten free)
What was less than ideal: The swim could be better organized. I rate myself a 9 and line up with the 9s. The 9s went with the 10s (which was altogether a small group). When I realized this, I went at the front of the 8s. Nonetheless, the entire swim was a logjam. I was trying to pass 4 people who were trying to pass me. The woman behind me was getting mad at me trying to pass, so she created a 3rd middle lane for passing. At one point I was practically walking. This added 1.5 minutes to my swim time at least and created a lot of frustration for all. I suggest better swimming line-up and better spacing of swimmers in the pool.
What I didn't expect: N/A
Race organization: Everything was great except the swim- not well organized.
Fuel and aid stations: Excellent
Overall grade: 4 stars
