  • Comments: Race started 15' late due to number of people still in registration. Otherwise a great race. Well run. Cold towels at finish a great touch. Organized. Would definitely do this one again. Swim buoys spaced a little far apart. Made it a little difficult to sight.

  • Comments: Kudos to Mark and Sun Multisport for putting on an outstanding race. This was my first time getting on the podium for a Half Iron distance race so I was happy about that. Def room for improvement, but a solid effort. A couple of my athletes also did the race and completed their first HIMs so it was really cool to be there with them and see them succeed!

  • Comments: I really enjoyed this race. I'm definitely planning on doing it again next year to try to improve my time! My only suggestion to the organizers would be to have the DJ bring a PA down to the swim start. Nobody could hear anything the announcer dude was saying!

  • Comments: No expo associated with the race. I like buying stuff at the race expo. No vendors for spectators to buy from. Not even water. Morning of the race, the people directing traffic did a poor job. Registration and body marking really held racers up outside of transition and delayed the start. On the course there were a lot of volunteers and seemed very organized.

  • Comments: Good race, lotsa volunteers. I am sure i missed something or someone in my RR, saw so many BT peeps, and we cleaned house in the awards Category, winning first in 3 categories a second and a third. Nice to meet Nate and Colin two really freaking fast doods, Colin was nice enough to come up to me and introduce himself, very cool, and the Mass Mafia make you feel so welcomed when you come visit, its like you are family. Enough rambling,hope you enjoyed. Rori, i did not forget about the bike frame info, i will get it to you.

  • Comments: It was a good race. I would prefer the bike course to be closed, but there were no issues from cars. Nice volunteers and well organized. It did start 15 min late, but ran smooth overall

  • Comments: The race began about 15-20 minutes late due to people still in registration. Overall, I feel pretty good about my effort during the race. Crashing is never fun, especially in a race. I used some poor judgement and had to pay for my foolishness. Without the 4 minute penalty, my time was 4:33 and I was in 8th overall. Without the crash my bike time would have been faster and my run probably would have been as well, but I'll never really know. I'll simply have to preform better and make better decisions in my next race if I want to race to my potential. This race was the one-year anniversary of my first triathlon. I did the sprint that coincides with the half last year. Now, if I can make those same gains in my next year, I'll be quite happy!

  • Comments: Not enough water stations for me, but lots for most people. I need to sip while I run or I drink too much too fast. Very hot!!
