  • Comments: Took place at Disney- would like to have had better food at the end- it was not good. Beer would be nice! No music, no party atmosphere. Just finish and that's the end of it.

  • Comments: The swim was very well marked (buoy every 100 mtr or so) The bike course was 80-85% closed to traffic and the hills were all manageable (it’s Florida) and the wind just upped the bar slightly. Lots of police watching intersections. All the aid stations on the run were great. All the volunteers were cheering us on even late. They changed the run so that it has less off road, which was a plus. Really it was a great run course. (Thanks to TriRsquared for this template).

  • Comments: Not the races fault that it didn't start on time. There was a good amount of rain and lightning in the area at the original start time. I would do this race again if I lived closer and am able to train in warmer climates, but living in Chicago I learned to look for a HIM distance race that is held at a much later date!

  • Comments: What a well run event. Volunteers were amazing and wish I felt better on the course to thank them in person. There are a few hitches to this event, but the venue is great for making this a family trip. One area they can do much better job on is post-race food. I have had much better at local sprint races and 5k's. I do not know if two days of walking around parks can be called active recovery, but I am glad to be home from this trip.

  • Comments: This was a fun race. I LOVED the organization, the venue, the voluteers, etc. It's worth saying that I LOATHE Disney and likely won't do this one again simply because if one more person told me to have a Magical Day I was going to punch them in the throat, but Ironman puts on a heck of an event.

  • Comments: I wish the race was going to continue so its a bummer it was the last year here. I enjoyed the race, the challenge, and being a part of it. My realistic goal was sub-5:15 with potential sub-5:10, so how can I be anything less than excited beyone belief to finish my first HIM in 5:08? So I didn't qualify for Vegas in my first HIM, I kicked ass anyway. A quick shout of gratitude to my wife for her support and patience, my coach for a great training plan and guidance that helped me exceed my expectations, and my friends and family who have supported me with their thoughts and encouragement!

  • Comments: Its an ok race, the course is good minus the xterra run. Food was very simple, slice of pizza that is it.

  • Comments: The volunteers and organizers could not have been better. Kudos to all! They worked through rain and lightening in the morning, and offered good grace and uplifting spirits throughout the race - especially the run. They were in costume, great humor, and totally supportive. I thanked as many as I could, and wish I could have done more. They made the race great. Photo is me with Sara McClarty at Lucky's after a friday morning swim. She beat me.

  • Comments: The food at the end of this event sucks. Cold pizza is not something I would like to have after a HIM. More fuit and better food would push the race above avg.

  • Comments: I did my first tri 6 weeks ago, so going from a sprint to HIM in this amount of time was a big goal and I was very pleased to achieve it. I never expect everything to go as planned and there certainly were a lot of learning opportunities on this journey. Can't wait to improve and do it all over again.
