• Comments: I would feel bad about my finishing time, but I finished. It was hard and I felt like quitting, especially when I realized I had no socks and my feet were blistered by mile 3... so yeah, I sucked it up and finished. Nothing to be ashamed of.

• Comments: Not very impressed with my first Ironman event. The expo was nice but the transitions weren't high production value like I thought they would be with little attention to detail. And the post-race "party" was lacking a lot. The veggie burgers were no a great choice. I didn't have the turkey sandwich but I heard it was just as bad. Nothing else in post race. I really expected more especially for the premium price.

• Comments: Volunteers were great. I felt the race was well organized for the most part. Getting to the venue race morning took much longer than expected. I'm not a big fan of split transitions but it went smoothly. Bike course has some rough roads but it was not as bad as some suggested, or maybe I am just used to TX roads. Run course and indoor finish are spectator friendly.
