  • Comments: It was sooo awesome to race with so many friends from BT. Trixie is THE best strapper bar none. I've said it before, and I'll say it again...I just love sharing the race experience with people I care about!!! I was so happy to be there sharing KL,Smoak,Sushigirl, Kristin and Dan's first HIM race with them!!! And of course, it was AMAZING to be able to cheer Coop in his IRONMAN debut! Overall I was happy with my effort, my improved pace on the bike and run from Monroe, and actually placing in my ag. Special thanks to Joanne for being my stalker during the race and alerting me to my place on fb, to SuperCoop for saving my butt by bringing the wetsuit to me, and to Steve and Russ for being the best babysitters on the planet. They rigged up my ride, charged my phone,decided our daily plan and went to the awards with me. I could get used to this treatment! ;)

  • Comments: I must say, I am VERY VERY glad that some of this stuff happened. Taught me some very important lessons moving forward towards the Austin 70.3. After I did Tri-Indy, I was like, "man this is EASY"... the difference between OLY and HIM is INSANE! I also had about a perfect race at tri-indy and about the worst rate I could have had at Rev3CP. Lessons learned, chalk it up to experience... I was also glad that my family came up to the race. It really meant a lot for them to make the trip up there as my mom hasn't seen me race in 5 years and dad hasn't since 07. I can't wait to have a HUGE PR at Austin.

  • Comments: Rev3 did an awesome, awesome job. I've never been to a 140.6 or a 70.3 race of any flavor but I've read a billion race reports and this was everything I've imagined and more. I loved getting a Finisher t-shirt at the finishing line (everyone else did too as that's all I saw all Sunday night and Monday morning), the organization was awesome, the transition area was fantastic!! I would do another Rev3 race again for sure- though I might not do this course again as the run course wasn't something I'd want to repeat (boring). I loved the swim/bike though. Thumbs up for the CP Half Rev!! :) I've done the Disney Half Marathon and this far exceeded that in family-friendly and bang for buck- Disney doesn't even give you a discount on park tickets whereas here you got 2 free tickets, cool even though I didn't get the chance to use them. I wouldn't stay at the Hotel Breakers again, it was way expensive, food was a pain and logistics were tricky around the park stuff. My parents stayed

  • Comments: I think Rev3 did a GREAT job for a first event. I give HUGE kudos first to how many volunteers they had in the water -- one of the most dangerous parts of the race. THAT was impressive. Then the aid stations on the bike and run course were OUTSTANDING! Not like I'm some HIM pro or anything, but compared to HIM Boise, Rev3 was head and shoulders above them in this regard. Downside, maybe out of their control: **Hotel Breakers was NASTY! You'd be better off camping! **Chip sealed roads, yuck. Thankfully I ride on Continental Grand Prixs which are a little sturdier than slicks, but I'd be worried. The new chip seal wasn't driven on enuf to smooth it out and my girlie bits are the worse for it.

  • Comments: This ended up being easier than I expected while still being one of the hardest things I've ever done. I learned a lot about myself as a triathlete and as a person. I learned that I'm stubborn as a mule and sometimes that's a good thing. I learned that being a girls still sucks. (Dear uterus, Seriously?? You couldn't have waited 12 more hours?) I learned that I really like the HIM distance and I would like to actually train to race the next one. I learned that I miss The Dude's support when he can't travel with me. I learned that a little bit of heart and a dash of willpower will carry you more miles than you might expect. And most importantly I learned, once the sun sets in Sandusky, don't ever, ever, ever ride in the front car of a roller coaster unless you want to eat lots and lots of bugs.

  • Comments: Rev3 is the whip! They really know how to put on a race. I look forward to racing with them again. They really made my first HIM a great experience. I will never forget this. The volunteers were fantastic too. Thanks to the Rev3 staff and volunteers for making this an epic event!

  • Comments: Great race for a first event. Great event for my first HIM. I really enjoyed everything about the race. I also need to give a huge thanks to Andy, that's what you introduced yourself as but I think your race number was 797 and name was David on the REV 3 materials. You really made the difference in making my run a good one. I hope it was a two way street. Hope everyone else out there had a great day. My goals for each leg were 35 minutes, 3 hours and 2 hours and I nailed them all.

  • Comments: I think this was a tremendous race, especially for its first year. A good crowd, well organzied, lots of swag and extras (2 shirts, visor,bag, 2 tickets to cedar point, personalized racks, massage, ice baths, cool tech and tracking). I have never done a 70.3 branded race but I would find it hard to believe that it is much better than this. The location is great. The only downsides are that Lake Erie could be ugly (it was on saturday but turned nice on sunday) and a few first time event snafus from hotel and cedar point employees (not a biggie really). We actually stayed to almost 11:30 PM. One friend (who was spectating) starting internally bleeding from a recent surgery and had to be sent to the ER and OR for surgery. Unfortunately her husband was doing the full so we hung around to see him at the transitions and cheer him on. His wife is such and animal that she started bleeding, got rushed to the OR, had a 1 hour surgery under general anesthetic got discharged and made it back for

  • Comments: This particular race was a first time race for the Rev3 series. I hope they send out a questionnaire for feedback because there was definitely some room for improvement. I'll leave it at that. Overall, this was a great race. I was very happy with my performance for my first HIM. I felt like I was thoroughly and properly trained both physically and mentally. With my grandma's death this week and the stress of the lake, my nerves were shot, but I was able to focus and stay in the moment and not worry about anything else. I absolutely loved it and can't wait to do another one!! It was also great to meet so many great people too! Met Jonathan, David, our PBN guy, Brian, some pros.. our team T3 folks, all of our Lafayette Tri Tippe people.. It was a great weekend! Thanks to my brother and his family for coming over too. That was a huge relief and comfort for me!!

  • Comments: Overall, race was good, I would do it again. Only suggestions would be: more explanation on where registration is, transition, finish line, etc. The hotel (Breakers) was useless in this area, so we had to kind of stumble around finding it all. Also could have used more explanation for the families on what to do on race day, do they need park tickets, where's the finish line, etc. Last suggestion: need more mile markers for the HIM on the bike course. Other than that, I'm real happy w/ REV 3 and the volunteers were GREAT!!!
