AQUAMAN #2 and Season Changes

Last night was a great night. This was our 8th AQUAMAN Event and each one keeps getting better. Our cap this year is 100 athletes per week and we hit that for the 2nd week in a row. Last week the water was rugged, but post 4th of July the boat/jet ski traffic seems to have died down. As a race director I sit on the boat and between flagging boats away and looking for struggling swimmers I'm constantly thinking of ways to improve week-to-week. Last week we decided to add an extra kayaker, food patroller to pass out the Jimmy John's, Mix1, Breeze bars, and Clif Bloks, along with 40 additional cones and an aid station on the run. When I say a race is perfect is the day I'll retire as there's always improvement to be made. Next week the NEW 60inch (these are big mofo's) race buoys should be in from Germany and I'm ordering up some 12ft race flags for the swim exit. On a side-note the finisher awards I found for the Harvest Moon are awesome. It's our motto that all awards have to be functional, no trinkets or medals that get tossed in the shoe box. Finish the Harvest Moon this year and you can celebrate with your own 2.5oz 10th Anniversary Shot Glass!
