  • Comments: The weather was great- partly cloudy about 65* and little wind. Great Volunteers!! Kudos to all of them! I have been to Boise and CDA events and this one seemed a bit bare bones for expo/festivities and such - but it is the only non-profit so it is somewhat understandable. Being my first 70.3 it would have been nice to have a backdrop to take some finish photos similar to what was available in Boise in past years. Could have been more "Bikes on Road" or "Race in Progress" signs on the first half of bike course near the big series of hills as it was busy with traffic and may have assisted with their speed. Overall - My main goal was to finish within the cut-off times. I did - I had a spectacular bike - surprising swim and so so run/walk. Overall - I am happy with my first 70.3.

  • Comments: This was a very good course of beginners in the 70.3 distance. Well run, very scenic, not too technical in any aspect. Bit of a mess with the 2015 swim, but I'm sure it will most definitely be resolved in future races.
