It was raining so hard that the oil from all of the motor boats was pooling on top of the water. That was the only down side to this swim.

Comments:

Long run up hill into transition but not sure if they stopped the clock somewhere here. There is no way I made it up the hill in 2 minutes let alone wetsuit off etc in the pouring rain.

Event comments:

few things both ways
negative: none of the volunteers at packet pick up seemed to know answers to questions
other participants in your age group werent posted so you had no idea how many people you were competing against
the dells could be fun but for us it was like las vegas for kids! the directions into the parking were very unclear and there were no signs on the street as you passed it. Literally not one REV3 sign! spent tons of time wandering and driving
on saturday we went to the swim start and there was not one single volunteer to give us an idea of how the tt start worked, where it started or how the layout was
the bike course is open to traffic literally OPEN TO TRAFFIC
positives: nice hat in the swag bag
the bike racking was different, no metal tent frames instead they used wooden slats so your bike stood up which had your name on which was cool
courses were well marked
finish line was super cool!
shirts were long sleeve tshirts which was a nice change
overall it was organized I likely would not do it again just because of the location
