  • Comments: Any race would be a failure with out all of the volunteers. Thank you for supporting us. I am grateful and think you all were great! The beach was beautiful, the bike course was very good. The run course was decent. I would do this again fo' sho'. I am certainly proud of doing my 3rd Half IM in 12 month period (Fl Half May '08/ Miami-Man Nov '08 / GCT May'09) and I do this for fun and don't want to lose sight of a great accomplishment. Am I beating myself up for missing a time goal or being a little slow? A little bit. We spend a lot of time doing this sport, and we all want to do it well. I'll break 6 next time...

  • Comments: This is by far the best Triathlon I have done to date. They had great volunteers. It was extremely well organized. They had 5 aide stations on the bike. The pancake breakfast was great, the pasta dinner was great and the party after was awesome. The fact that the hotel is right by transition and swim start just cant be beat. Not having to wait in long lines at the porta potties is really cool.

  • Comments: The relay thing is not the same as doing the whole thing. Having done the whole thing before it just feels a little empty. I did have fun and was proud of Marcy's performance and dispite my teammates indescretions I had a blast. This is a rockstar race. Dispite alot of new competition this race still rates among the very best.

  • Comments: Great race. There must have been as many volunteers as there were racers. Everyone was so helpful and I am glad I chose it for my first HIM. I believe this is a great race to get a feel for the distance (as long as you don't mind a little heat).

  • Comments: The organization of this race was amazing, and the volunteers were fabulous! They were out there in the heat, just like us, yet they kept cheering us on and doing everything they could to make it easier on us. Best part about this race -- it was a celebration for me. Almost 5 years ago I was airlifted to a trauma center with a broken neck and other broken bones, along with other injuries. So this whole thing was amazing to me -- that I could do this at my age, and that I was strong and healthy enough to get through this. Of course I wish I could have done better, but I gave all that I had on that day. And it gave me such joy throughout the day. Even as I sit here reliving it, it brings a smile to my face!!!

  • Comments: This is a nice race. It is well put on, and the voluntter support (especially on the run) was teriffic. The race organizers can't control the conditions, but they did a great job with everything else. My only disappointment was the expo. I had read it was "open to the public" so I expected a lot more. This is a nice destination race. It's late enough in the year that it's warm and the family can "play on the beach" and do fun stuff. Yet it's early enough the tourism hasn't hit yet.
