  • Overall course based on my ability: Too hard

  • Comments: This was a great race. The course was very tough but alot of fun. There were a ton of volunteers and aid stations and the swag was the best I've seen - a real backpack loaded with cool usable stuff (goggles, a sling bag, nalgene bottles, water bottles, a blanket, etc.). I've been telling Julia this all fall. As long as I enjoy the training and racing I'll keep it up. It's been a great fall and the race was Amazing. I'm definately looking forward to next season.

  • Comments: I have to say that this was an INCREDIBLE race in terms of volunteers, swag, expo, aid stations. When they said aid stations every 10 on the bike and every mile on the run I figured every 10-15 on the bike, but it was more like every 5-10 and every mile on the run- was more like AT LEAST one aid station every mile. The volunteers were GREAT! The staff was great, everyone was friendly, helpful and glad to have us there! The swag bags were NICE backpacks (like REAL backpacks, not the little sling packs) and were LOADED with goodies including goggles, a sling bag, nalgene bottles, and more. BEST race organization that I've experienced!

  • Comments: I say it was too hard but that was what I liked about it, I'm glad the wind picked up or it would have been too easy. :) This is by far the most organized race of any kind I've attended. Volunteer ratio was like 3 vols to 1 athlete. I skipped several of the bike water stations and skipped half of the run buffets as well, so yeah, I guess there was pleanty of liquid and food on the course.

  • Comments: Such a great race. It hurt like hell during the event, even to to point that I was telling myself that I was never going to to it again to do an IM. But two days later, and I'm just beaming about completing it. Telling a couple friends and they were in awe. I'm ready for next year!!!!
