If you care about your time or finishing place this race is not for you.
Runners start in waves. If you happen to start in a later wave your official time and place is based on the clock time from the start of the first wave, not your chip time. Why bother to have chips? Chip times were not reported anywhere in the results. Pretty hard to be competitive if you started 7 minutes after the first wave. It has been many years since I ran a race where chip times were not reported and were not the basis for placing within age groups.
Also, water stops were chaotic.
