  • Comments: great volunteers. just a great race in general. Wish they would have had a better spot for the one aid station on the bike rather than part way up a hill.

  • Comments: I'll never say a race like this was easy, nor would I say it was fun. It was very hard and painful but I am very proud of my accomplishment. Will I do it next year? If you asked me last Saturday...no. Now?...likely.

  • Comments: Super volunteers. A nice course overall, the run route and finish line are great and it is easy to stay inspired with so many people around. The 2pm start wasn't as odd as I thought it was going to be. I was glad I did the event, I almost skipped it. I would highly recommend this race to other beginners if you don't have to travel too far. Although a bit more expensive than other Half Iron races... the course, support, and venue are super and probably the best that I have seen so far. It is also fun to be in the same race as world champion athletes. That is not possible in most sports I've been involved in.

  • Comments: This race is absolutely awesome. The city of Boise is top notch with wonderful people who lined the streets to cheer us on. The volunteers for this race were great and very very helpful. I definately recommend this race to anyone out there and look forward to doing it again next year.

  • Comments: A fantastic race! Very proud of Boise, all the volunteers, fans, and the race organizers. I liked the afternoon start and the evening finish downtown. The weather in early June here is usually mild, so there isn't much you can say about the wind.

  • Comments: The race finished so late that all we wanted to do was go to bed. I soooo wanted to hang out and watch others finish but my body just wouldn't allow it. It would have been a VERY different day if we started in the morning like a normal race.

  • Comments: It was an awesome race and very well done. The only thing that limited my experience was my performance. I am not sure how I feel about the late afternoon start though, I think those winds started picking up as the day wore on and we ended up riding through the hottest part of the day. But I guess thats part of the challenge and Ironman and Boise did an amazing job with this race.

  • Comments: crappy #2 bike aid station location (in middle of hill!) and funky bike course. But the swim and run more than made up for the weird bike course.
