  • Comments: Overall a very good race. My main goal for the race was to break 5 hours and qualify for the HalfMax Championships - mission accomplished. I didn't quite hit my stretch goal of 4:52, but still a very good result, beating my previous HIM by 30 minutes! Season is still young - lots of racing ahead of me!

  • Comments: This was my first HIM and the course was flat and fun. I've heard that Keith Jordan puts on great races and I must agree that the whole weekend was well organized, on time and a lot of fun. It's a great venue for kids and ours had a blast. I would defintely go back and recommend this to anyone.

  • Overall course based on my ability:

  • Comments: After collapsing at the finish line and waking up in the med tent with the IV, i've learned hydration and nutrition are key. I also need to avoid spraining my shoulders and food poisoning the week before the race. All things considered, i'm proud to have even finished. that day did not work in my favor, but I refuse to let that get me down. Nobody will stop me from getting my medal.

  • Overall course based on my ability: Too easy

  • Comments: Once again, Endorfun put on a FANTASTIC event. Nice venue, even if the course is a little easy, but it's really the organization and attention to details that make their events better than most. Tons of volunteers, fantastics setup, course markings, traffic management, announcers, support, etc. Did I mention they even have free beer?

  • Comments: This ended up being a great race for me. My swim was so so ... ok it was actually kinda crappy since it was in salt water with a wetsuit and I didn't even attempt to push it to see what I could do. But mentally I was pretty proud of myself for dealing with the flats and not psyching myself out about the run..

  • Comments: I'm dinging this race just a bit compared to the sprint because it seems like Keith had some volunteers not show up. Unlike the sprint, there were no volunteers to help racers out of the water and navigate the ramp. Also, the two bike stations definitely needed more people. I only saw 2 people at one and 3 at the other. The rest of the stations were all well manned, though, and the race itself was awesome.
