  • Comments: Great race. I like the run course much better this year though wasn't a big fan of the cross country/uneven terrain on the backside. Having cheering crowd was good. The race was much larger this year, which added to the excitement. I would definitely do the race again and would recommend the race to friends. The after party seemed a little better than 2009 as well. I would probably stay at the resort next year too.

  • Comments: This is the first year that I have done this race and my 3rd HIM for the year. I did not finish the first and 7:30 on the second and here I was 6:19 so I guess you can say that I was very happy about the race> That time does not include the 4min penalty by the way. I did like the cours and the 3 loop run because it is nice to see people on the run and not just out in no mans land. All though the swim was cold and the bike was even colder I would say that I will try this race again next year. It is very well organized and small and it plays to the locals very well. The price of the race is great and I will see yall next year.

  • Comments: I will do another 70.3 but I promised myself out there I would not race in this physical condition again. I am ready to sign up for 2011! I also had THE best cheering section, they were LOUD, had great signs and were super cute too.

  • Comments: Really enjoyed the race location and convenience of staying at the resort hotel. Everything was very well organized and the volunteers were excellent. When I checked results soon after the race I was not listed. Went and talked with timing personnel and they did not have my run time. They quickly made the adjustment and posted the corrected results. I was impressed with their willingness to work so quickly to rectify this-especially since I wasn't in line for an award and they were still working the finish.

  • Comments: Great race, great first HIM experience. They started a little late just because of the fog, which was a good call on their part. I wish they had more than one port-a-potty at the hand ups on the bike course.

  • Comments: I liked the race, well organized. I would prefer an out and back or single loop run course, but defintely no more grassy slopes or gravel.

  • Comments: Really thought this was a well run race. My only criticism is that one of the bottles I was handed on the bike still had the foil on it! I had to rip it open with my teeth and ended up spilling half the bottle on my bike. Otherwise it's a great course and a good location. A little chilly at the beginning of the bike, but otherwise the weather was perfect!

  • Overall course based on my ability: Too hard

  • Comments: There was no food left for us slowbys when we finished - at least other than a bagel,banana or ass tasting muscle milk. So my husband had to make a dash to the golf shop and buy a burger for me. Uncool. There are aspects of this race that are great - National Forest on the ride - and parts that were pretty bad - run course. But I am still glad I did it, freezing weather and all. I can say I did a half ironman, but i can't say I EVER want to do one again. 2011 will be put towards short course...going fast no endurance needed!

  • Comments: The race started about 15 minutes late due to needing additional time to let the fog lift off the lake, but that was beyond the race team's control.
