  • Comments: The race organizers did everything under their power to make this a great event. I didn't like the road conditions much but I was also not in the best place mentally while riding. I would certainly recommend it to others. I need to remember that triathlon is just a fun diversion and I am doing this to challenge myself, stay fit and enjoy the company of people who feel the same way as I do. Back at work on Monday only one person even knew/remembered I had raced. It helps keep things in perspective. I will just keep tri-ing. First 70.3 is done!

  • Comments: This was a great race and its very well organized. The post race Turkey dinner was fantastic. I hate to be so negative in my RR, but I just didn't have it today. Nonetheless, I'm happy to have taken 2nd in my AG and there were some positives to take away from the race. Hopefully I'll feel a heck of a lot better at the Beach to Battleship Full next month! :)

  • Comments: The Pumpkinman team is AWESOME, for a first timer I could not have asked for a better course or support from volunteers, etc. It was amazing, IF I ever do another Half Iron it would probably at a different venue (just for a change) but I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to be a part of this race and would do the Sprint in a heartbeat!

  • Comments: Race was delayed to due to unsafe fog on lake ..but was well handled by RD.Plenty of volunteers/stations well stocked..Venue is a bit off the beaten track-can be a plus or a minus depending on what looking for ..especially for spectators for a longer race..They did seem to be rushing the wrap up a bit- but the race was late starting due to fog..food/drink excellent good awards.. pros there,a massage tent would have been appreciated..Overall a good course, well run, good event. For me..I had a rocky start ..but I had SO MUCH FUN!! Friends racing & a most awesome support/sherpa smiling & cheering at every transition..Under 6 hr finish , learned a lot, met nice people out on the course..beautiful day..doesn't get much better than this. I am a lucky girl.
