  • Comments: Like that, it was all over. I completed the race. 1100 miles of biking, 600 miles of running, 82000 yards of swimming - 9 months of training. And the race - completed. Never before had I ever experienced the following feeling after a race. Thrice before I had felt it for others - Mom & Dad's Half-Mary, Melissa & Adam's little Andrew, and Bonnie's high-honors graduation. Once before I felt it within myself - completing Marine Corps Boot Camp. As I walked away from the finish line towards transition I felt it again. This was for all the inspiration my family had unknowingly given me. That's when it washed over me. And I felt... Proud.

  • Comments: This is a well run and organized race. The course is well marked with very good directions. All the major climbs had a sign giving the length and grade. The inspiration signs were very entertaining and funny. There were plenty of aid stations on the bike (3) and on the run (seemed like around every corner) and they were well placed. The support and volunteers were on the job and very helpful. The race was on time and the Race Director was on the ball. The only thing I forgot and regret is thanking the RD in person. I guess an email will do as well. The event has a higher purpose, to raise money for the Joanna M. Nicolay Melanoma Foundation. This is a non-profit public charity for which this race proceeds goes towards. The venue is fantastic with a great atmosphere in a beautiful State Park. There is plenty of parking around at the race site and nice beach for the kids. The venue has showers to clean up after the race. The SavageMan has a very cool web site with tons of info.
