I’ve done this race twice now, first time was my first ever triathlon and a year later I did it again and cut 26 minutes off my time. It’s been run for awhile and the race organizers have the race down pat. Check in, transition all seamless and it’s held at a park so fun for spectators and kids to play on the playground or water features.
The swim is a lake and very smooth. A lot of turns make for a slightly slower swim course but overall easy.
The bike has some surprise roller and hills that I heard some people grumble about but no major climbs. There is a decent climb midway right before an aid station and then the last 10 miles or so has some gain which will test tired legs.
A two loop exposed run course is hot and boring. The spectators and home owners try and help with that, playing music and spraying water in the streets as you circle the lake you swam in earlier.
Overall a great first timers race as there isn’t much to be concerned about other then heat, and is close to Orlando airport for people travelling.
