  • Comments: They did a phenomenal job on the course. The dunk tanks on the course helped me cool down a lot. There were plenty of people you could have flagged down if you were in trouble between aid stations. I wish it would start at 7 instead of 8 - that might have helped a little. Also, the band only played until 3, so I missed it this year. I also barely saw it last year because of the late start. No announcing names today - was kind of a bummer after suffering thru it, but I guess I understand too..

  • Comments: I love this race!!! great pre race, great help during race, great post race - live band and everything!! If I could, I'd do this as my half IM every year!! I'm crossing my fingers that I'll be able to do this as my A race next year (instead of using it as a training day/race for IMWI)

  • Comments: LOVE this race. Of all the races I've done it was the best organized and seemed to go out of their way to make our lives easier. Things like buoys every 150 feet and volunteers at every bike turn make for a headache free day. Food was good. Medal Nice. Didn't like the Neon Yellow shirt, but I bought a nice purple cotton one at check in which was a nicer design. Door county is beautiful and quaint. Very peaceful out there. It was a 5 hour drive for me to get there but so worth it! Might be back next year. I was secretly hoping for sub-7 but my goal window was 7-7:30 and I still made that window despite my poky run. It was a good training test for IMOO, and gives me hope I might just make it. It will be close, but it's doable!

  • Comments: Great event and overall a great day for my first half IM. I made it through the tough moments on the bike and the physical issues on the run and never once thought of quitting, though I did question whether the bike issues would do me in. I persevered regardless of the time I'd come in. This was 2+ hours more than my previous long training session - I am ecstatic. It was great to see all the donkey/BTers and friends at the event. It helped a lot.

  • Comments: This really is the best executed race I've encountered. The area is beautiful, everything was wonderfully organized and I really enjoyed it. While I don't feel the need to return, I would recommend this race to anyone. I am looking forward to passing this message on to the RD.

  • Comments: Great race on an awesome course. One of the best Half's out there! Race started late due to the weather, but it was really well organized and the RD kept everyone well informed. Really awesome Half, out did all the 70.3 branded races in the midwest!

  • Comments: This was the best run race that I've ever been in. It was awesome. The volunteers were great. The food at the end was ok. Honestly it may have been great but I couldn't stomach it. Afterward a friends son asked me if it was fun. And I replied besides the panicking in the lake, the rain on the bike and the wanting to cry a little bit on run? Yeah it was fun. The thing that made this race for me was all of the donks. Seeing everyone was awesome. It was great. Thanks guys!

  • Comments: I still have to give the post race a good even thought they ran out of coke! I had so much fun! It was so hard and took a lot of mental energy!! I don't think I could have done better and I think I'll have to pull a George Costanza and hang up my 1/2 Iron shoes with that. Really wanted to be under 6 -- met all of my goals. I'm good!

  • Comments: The best 70.3 I have done to date as far as being organized and having a great transition setup, I don't like the two transition set up some races are doing. Race was delayed 30 minutes for lighting Getting a PR at a race you DNF'd the year before is Suweet!

  • Comments: This is probably the best organized race I have participated in. Not only the course but the aid stations and events were well thought out with an eye for detail. My only two suggestions for this race would be to have endurolytes on the run course and to have a vegetarian option for the post-race meal. I also saw lots of friends from La Crosse and Madison and it was really nice to catch up with people. One bonus of not killing myself on the course is that I feel really good today and will be able to take the doggy for a walk and do my normal stuff. I probably could have pushed it more but I really enjoyed the race more the way I did it. I think this race is one I will do next year.

  • Comments: Overall good race. close to home, well organized. I did not like the hills on the run course, but if I was in better shape probably would have felt different. Sean Ryan does a nice job organizing an event. Glad the family was there and Jason helped a bunch getting me going and helping me not feel so nervous. I did it and its done,now I can enjoy summer!

  • Comments: This is one of the better destination races in the midwest. Great organization, plenty of volunteers, lots of crowds lining the bike and run, and pork sandwiches for the finishers. After the race, Door County has a lot to offer the family who stays longer.
