T1 is figured in here. Swim was in the 8 min range.
What would you do differently?:

I wouldn't do this race again. People didn't line up by time. It was a mess by the time I started--should have started sooner and kept sweats on longer.

Event comments:

This race was a mess. On the up side it was a relaxed atmosphere and the scenery was nice.
Still, the swim was a disaster. Lining up people by time isn't that difficult, nor is explaining to people if they can't swim to get out of the way. People on the bike course were riding ride by side on an open course with a fair amount of traffic (to say nothing of drafting). None of the volunteers had a clue what was going on (two were standing three feet from a pile of broken glass on the bike course). It's really hard to know what your race times were given they have the transitions rolled into them and the transition area wasn't very central. All and all, some people might find this a chill way to do a first tri, but I won't do it again.
