I wont be there this year, as im still pretty sick unfortunately. I did it last year though, it was my first tri. Lot of fun.
Yes you do see a lot of opposite direction traffic on the bike course. It doesnt cause any problems though and some parts of the course are gorgeous.
Be prepared for the fact that the last .25M or so of the run is on sand. If you know its coming its not a big deal. I didnt know it was coming and it was.
Last bit of advice, BRING A WETSUIT. The water was absolutely frigid last year, my skin was blue in some of the pics they took on the bike course.
Otherwise fun course, great people. have fun.

Ive decided that as much as being a spectator is a good time, I feel Ive given this whole foot injury thing long enough and am going to rock out my first race this season. Two questions:
1. Has anyone done this race before and does the bike course cross 3 times into opposing bike traffic like the map shows?!!
2. If yar doing it, trifuel meeting at registration or something?
