  • Comments: This was one of the most awesome experiences of my life! I had some much freakin' fun! It felt so great to have it all come together, all that training seemed to really work. I never would have thought I could do so well, in fact that's why I got messed up on the 2nd loop thing, b/c I could see the clock had a 5hr on it and my mind had 6 or even 7hr and how could the clock say 5hr? The race was so well supported, I doubt any other race will compare to it, can't wait for next year, yahooooo!

  • Comments: I love this race. This is the second time I've done it and I will be back again next year. I'm biased toward the Boise community since I lived there for three years, but they are some of the most friendly people you'll find. Volunteers are awesome. Got lots of encouraging compliments the following day while wearing my t-shirt too.

  • Comments: I didn't get a massage after the race but would have liked to. By then it has been a very long day for the family and they are a bit anxious to get home. I did go see my massage therapist 2 days later for 1.5 glorious hours of stretching and massage. I also had my easiest recovery yet and i attribute that, at least in part, to my massage therapist. The best thing about today's race is I did it 19 minutes faster than last year! Will I do it next year? Give me some more time to forget....

  • Comments: First WTC event. Very impressed. Everything was very well organized. The finish area was amazing. Big crowd out there to bring the athletes home. Boise is a fantastic city. Stayed downtown and everything was walking distance and very easy to get around. Looking forward to some improved fitness and decision making for next year.

  • Comments: This was my first WTC race and I was a bit let down. It is well organized and the volunteers were amazing. I thought the expo and long lines were pathetic and the finish line was a bit anti-climactic. I enjoyed the course except the run was too crowded. Boise is a great city and the crowds were exceptional. I think I would do it again. One disappointment is that I didn't meet any BT people at the race. We need to find a way to make life more fun by at least being together as we wait in the long lines or sit in the sun waiting for our waves to begin.

  • Comments: Best race I've ever done in terms of organization and my own fitness. I know now why the WTC races charge a premium. They're very well run and make you feel like a champ. My only beef: My wave was supposed to start 13 mins after the pros. When i crossed the finish the clock said 6:11. Therefore doing the math, I was convinced I did 5:58 and broke 6 hours. Official time says otherwise. A bit confused by that one, but beat my stated goal of 6:15, WIN for me!

  • Comments: This is really a great race/course. I couldn't ask for a better one. It would be nice to be able to put together a solid race here for once. Maybe next time.
