Comments:

Started out really strong, had a good pace. GI track started to act up near the turn around and there was no port-a-potties! This did me in for the way back on the last half. Ended up run/walking all the way back.. What a disappointment.. Full race report at... http://ricemantoironman.blogspot.com/2006/10/live-from-valley-harve...
What would you do differently?:

Event comments:

The race wasn’t' the best run event that I have been to. There was a lack of information on where to go and what was going to happen.. The town and people were top notch though..
