Race Report:

Fantastic race, location and people!!!!
this is a slim down race (no swag, no timing chips, no finisher medals)
your number and time is record when you exit the water
Results are posted on https://www.webscorer.com/...id=149324&live=1

Water quality is good (no garbage floating, no gas,fish smell etc...) its got the Potomac silt.
Staff is very nice.. spoke with some people not associated with the race\swim ie,, water taxi pilots etc.. they were very nice
Family friendly environment. Ferris wheel, carousel, boat rides, restaurants, shops
the Sunday morning parking is easy and lots of spots.
