The year that I ran it was one of the coldest on books but the route was fantastic and the event was put on flawlessly from a runners point of view. The course is more hilly than what I am use to but the crowd along the route was amazing and

"Note - I did the Aquabike, not the full 140.6 - there is no option to select this.

This was the first year this race was offered so take this with a grain of salt.
Pickup - Rinny and Macca were there. Got pics were both. Triathlete geek heaven.
Swim -

The course was awesome, yet challenging with all the bridges and the small rolling hills on the roads. The crowds were cheering at every section of the course with the bridges being the only exception.
