• Comments: This was a perfect race for my first HIM event, small, well organized, not that overwhelming racy feel. I never got nervous even as the swim was starting. This surprised me the most of all this weekend. I finished my first HIM and therefore I'm happy! Even got a nifty finishers medal. Now time to get better. I was able to meet a couple BTers (Brett and John U.) in trans area prior to race and got a "hey BT" on the race course a few times too, so that was cool. Big thanks to all the volunteers and to my friends and family that waited around for 6 hrs , while I punished myself: )

• Comments: A big part of the run loop was on a state highway which was monitered by a sherrif. About the time I got out there for my second loop (5 1/2 hours into the race) the sherrifs left and the traffic was unfettered. That was not good and could have led to a disaster. Next year they need to either get a commitment to have the highway monitored until they pull people off the course, or change the course. Either would be fine, but it was not good to have a bunch of people running on a state highway that was hilly enough that cars could not see us as the came over the crest of a hill and no sherrif to keep the traffic all in one lane. It was terrific to meet Chris K., Brandon J. and John U.'s family. Just super to have friends at the event. They all waited and were there to cheer as I finished, Brandon was 3rd in his age group.

• Comments: Good race. I would have liked the miles to have been marked and marked correctly. The info about the loop on the bike course and the 2 lap run was news to me on race morning. Fun race though with a good course and friendly people.
