I have done Oceanside just about every year including the first year when it was a full.
I loved the beach start. I understand there will be a few that are intimidated.
The rolling start, as opposed to AG waves worked out well. Because it was on the beach and plenty of room, it was easy to find a suitable place to line up.
Personally, I would like an age group rolling start by expected finish time.
I found much less congestion in the swim and in the bike.
Did anyone notice much drafting on the bike? I saw very little and no one in the penalty box, but I also saw very few course marshals.
Congrats to the race director, well done.
