This is a fast swim course. My swim was so much faster than previous races, I could not even brag about it, because it seems like I cheated. The bike course takes back the swim lead with two hills that required some effort to climb. No officials calling drafting penalties despite lots of people forming lines climbing the hills. Not the smoothies roads, but doable. The run was hot, but offered lots of spectator viewing. City was very accommodating. Good event. Will definitely do it again.
Hot. Hard. Fun.

I was on a relay team and completed the bike and run. The swim was downriver and my teammate cut nearly 10 minutes off his time. The bike was rolling hills with lots of aid stations and a few spectators. The run was flat and partially shaded, but the temps hit 88- making it a steamy run! Great aid stations and volunteers though!
