I agree that the race organizers, volunteers and community worked hard and put on exceptional events( both sprint and xtreme). the "customer service" was outstanding and that will serve them well.
The swim at daybreak with lights was unique, made even better with the full moon. There were some swells adding to the challenge but not outrageous.
The bike route was gorgeous and road quality ranged from good to excellent. The degree of difficulty was severe in my opinion. This was true even before the strong crosswinds and thunderstorm added to the fun. I did persevere and complete the bike but it took at least 2.5 hr longer for me than a more average course.
The run is well described. I reached 25k and chose to stop rather than face the task of mountain climbing in the woods. Really happy to read your description. Sounds like a grind.
So Devashish was right in that it will be a smaller cohort to whom this race appeals. For those who are up to it you will do one of the most beautiful and challenging events, and you will be treated exceptionally well by all involved. I hope it succeeds and thrives.
