This is a well organized race, and with a great group of volunteers. The swim start ~1 mile from transition, so you need some extra time in the morning, in case you like to do some warmups before you put your swimsuit. The swim is downriver, but this year the current was not that strong as it happened the year before. After you come out from the water, you have a short run uphill to transition. The bike course is hilly/rolling hills, going through nice neighborhoods and along the river in some sections. Save some energy for the end, where you’ll have the bigger hills. The run was mostly on a very shaded rolling hills trail. Stay hydrated and well fueled all the time (especially the ad station in Mile 12), as it can get very hot in some sections, but also to storage some energy for the final hills at the end.
