  • Lots of volunteers to help?Yes
  • Plenty of drink stations?Yes

  • Post race activities? Good
  • Overall course based on my ability: Just right

  • Comments: The swim ended up being harder than I expected. More buoys definitely would have helped make navigating easier. The bike course was fast and fun. The run course was also nice with several stretches of softer surface (crushed stone/low grass). There was fun music afterward and the prizes were AWESOME - etched wine glasses and bottles of wine. I only wish that the post race food was something I could have handled. BBQ with potato salad and mac and cheese was just too heavy at that point. I would have liked more fruit, bagels and peanut butter, soup or stew, or pasta. But overall, this was a really fun event and I will definitely look forward to doing it again in the future.

  • Comments: Good race, although I would offer free massages to the athletes. It was a misleading to go have a massage, wait in line for close to 45 minutes only to find out the massages were at a price. At the Augusta Ironman there were plenty of staff to provide free massages. Post race food could have been better as well, not much in the way for vegetarians.

  • Comments: Well now that I can look back at this race and know I had beat last years time by 4 min I am happy.I really struggled to push myself this year. I know that I will never be the person who can win my AG. I do this just as a sense of accomplishment considering where I have came from and only ever hope to beat the last races time. SO look out next year!!

  • Comments: One of the better Set Up Events. Great volunteers - lots of aid stations and plenty of supplies. Just please, please mark the swim course better. There need to be more buoys.

  • Comments: This was my first HIM, one of the reasons I picked this race was because it was flat. I would highly recommend for first HIM. Did not put in enough long workouts due to work schedule or I feel I could have done better time wise. Overall I am very happy to completed my first HIM and really enjoyed our stay in the Williamsburg, VA area.

  • Comments: the good: 1) run course was a fantastic course with trails and well shaded 2) volunteers on run were very helpful and energetic. 3) bike course was fun. rolling hills kept it interesting room for improvement: 1) swim course needed to be marked better 2) bike course volunteers need to take off the plastic seal on the water bottles 3) race day chip pick up...why not the same time as package pick up.
