  • Comments: This was my first half IM distance, so I am happy overall. Would have liked a better time, but with the heat and inexperience I am not complaining. Thought I lost my cyclometer as it was not on my bike after the race, but the race organizers had found it and sent it back to me right after the race (thanks!!). Love Las Vegas and will be back to compete next year (with better results hopefully).

  • Comments: Mountain Man events......what can I say. It's the 3rd year in a row we're doing this one. It has gotten much better. The aids stations were a huge improvement. Much more volunteers and actually water and ICE!! Even some Hammer Gels! Compared to last year 100% improvement. This year the timing mat and finishing area was still out when I finished. Previous years they broke everything down way ahead of time. It's a hard race (course and heat), don't expect too much from the organizers. The expo this year was pathetic - I asked them what happened and they said that they just didn't show up. BUT - if you really want a hard race and are training for something like Ironman St George, I can recommend doing this.

  • Comments: Not bad for my first HIM. I now have a benchmark. Looking forwards to a flat, cool HIM to see how much faster I can go.

  • Comments: Army ROTC volunteered at the drink stations and did an EXCELLENT job!! Thank you!! I didn't see any post race activities, but I didn't hang out to long. Drink stations were well stocked with water and gatorade, as I train with Cytomax I only took water and carried my Cytomax with me. The wed description "Las Vegas's flatest bike course" should come with a topo map for those of us unfamiliar with Lake Mead, the hills were a shocker (now I'm whining). I wish for the entry fees ($200.00 for the Half) we could have at least got a tech t or one with logo's on the back and front. Seemed like there wasn't much sponsorship, my only reference is the LV RnR Marathon and several other running events where sponsorship is huge.
