"I did this race in 2009 and 2010. 2009 was run better than 2010. It seemed that this year they tried cutting corners to be more profitable or offset the cost of a wicking shirt instead of a tee shirt. Whatever the reason, there were aspects of skimping that, as an athlete, were unappreciated. For example, NO WATER in the transition area or anywhere on the course except for one table at the run's turn around. I had a long list of complaints streaming through my head while I was on the course that could be easily overcome if the race director just went to a few other triathlons outside the Eastern Shore of Maryland to see how other folks run them.

That said, running through the surf for the ocean swim, and the overall beauty of Assateague Island make this a great place to have a triathlon."
