I did it and had a great race. Lacking in post race food so bring your own. Gatorade on the course was watered down and tasted like it was made with a garden hose. I emailed the race director and he said they will most likely be adding a free barbeque because a lot of people complained.

Swim is in a protected cove, nice.

Transition area is asphalt & gravel

Bike route is pretty hilly. One good size climb at mile 28 and another at mile 53. There will be more race route help this fall too.

Run route is big rollers. Pretty hard because it was three loops and once you see it you know you have to do it AGAIN, TWICE! The fall race should be a two loop from what I heard.

Check out the old thread I started on it for a full report.

Thanks Karma! That is a great thread (sorry I didn't search for it before posting!)

One question though- do you recommend doing this on a road bike instead of TT?

I did on my tri bike, no issue.

But, the bike course was dangerous. Lots of large, unmarked pot holes. I wrote about them but got not reply back. There also were too few folks or markings for road turns.
