  • Comments: Best race by far of the four I've run. Excellent organization, very enthusiastic supporters, volunteers were phenomenal. I'm looking forward to the North East Triathlon. Oh, and by the way, I'm glad I didn't do the half. It got WAY too hot and this Minnesota boy doesn't handle the heat.

  • Comments: A very well run event. Larry & Michelle do a great job and the volunteers deserve a lot of praise. Tons of stations on the run course and that was key. Volunteers knew the course and which way to direct you. Great job!

  • Comments: A nice race, well run and well organized. Not crazy about the placement of the bottle exchange, a little to early on the first loop, IMO, and in the middle of a tricky turn-around. The race organizers may be limited as to where they are able to set the bottle exchange up, though. Might be nice to start the half iron waves first and sprint waves second...

  • Comments: For my first Half Ironman, I am very pleased with this race. I felt that I prepared to the best of my ability, and then raced to the best of my ability. I could not have asked for a much more beautiful day. This was a great race. As always, CGI put on an excellent pair of races today.
