• Comments: There was very little at the post race party. Racing in the New Orleans area, I've gotten used to great food, great music, & lots of beer trucks. All I saw was junk food & massage tents. They didn't even have cold water. It was definitely below par. Also, there's no excuse for the fluid shortage on the bike. I hope they look at that for next year & They should talk to some locals about the post race party. All of the finishers deserve a lot better than what was there.

• Comments: Shuttle busses were a disaster. Both from transition to the start and from the finish back to transition. Hopefully they'll resolve that problem for next year.
