The race organization was pretty good. The weather the morning of the run created an awesome scene with just a gentle coating of snow on everything. The course is a loop with some small hills which go through nice neighborhoods.

Overall I would do this race again, only thing was

"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 -

Well organized. Texas sized. Didn't expect the wind that blows gently,but continuously for days. Neither flat nor hilly, just a nice change up throughout the course. Lots of variation and felt like a faster run for me. Lots of energy at race start from crowd and announcers. Start of race
