  • Comments: HFP always does a nice job at the races. I would've like to have seen another water station on the run due to the extreme heat. Also they need to work on getting through the packet pickup line faster. The delay in the race only made it hotter. Still, you can't beat the bang for the buck. This is my third time doing Deer Creek and have done many other HFP events. I'll be back for more for sure.

  • Comments: This race was mentally tough. With a terrible start to the swim, it was hard getting back in the groove during the bike. With that, I was happy that I placed 3rd in my age group. I also didn't feel thrashed after the race which is a huge bonus.

  • Comments: Pro- within a 2 hour drive (no overnight needed), flat course for the most part. Once the race got rolling thought it flowed smoothly.First Oly so of course i set a PR. My time was in my predicted range I set for myself. Con- people who think they can roll up 25 min before a start and get their packet and timing chips. I was told to be there no later than 7A to register. cars were still pulling in at 7:40. Might have helped to have more registration folks. Delay pushed us further into satans kitchen on the run.

  • Comments: I have to thank my jock straps; my wife, kids and friend Jeremy. Jeremy was supposed to race with me but injured himself the day before laying shingles on his buddy's roof. But he still made the trip from Columbus race morning to support me. He took a bunch of great pictures. Thanks guys!
