  • Comments: The race is very well organized, only once on the bike did I hit an aid station where they didn't have water(it was restocked the next time around) and the run stations had anything I needed. The volunteers were very helpful, the shirts were nice, and most everything was pretty convenient. The only problems were minor(I've mentioned them already), but I'd only rate a race a '5' if it was flawless.

  • Comments: Crazy support from the locals. It was awesome coming into to town on your bike streets closed and people cheering you on, able to see my wife every lap but one, missed her on a bike lap. She was the best support for me out there. Having my brother on the course was great too, seeing him on the run was good. Kept me up knowing he was never going to lap me. lol or me him. Overall awesome experience. Wouldnt trade it for the world. Work harder on the bike for next time.

  • Comments: This is a great race. It's a first class event. The local residents make it a great experience. They come out and support you by volunteering or just watching and cheering. They really embrace the event. They make you feel like a professional athlete. A kid even asked for my autograph!! The organizers of the event also have it together. The transitions, aid stations and special needs areas were perfect. My only complaint is they did not have enough C02 for everyone. You can't fly with it so you count on them to have it for sale at the expo. They ran out. I heard 2 rumors. One person said they had plenty, but people were buying about 10 each. Another person said they only had 2000 available for 2300 athletes. Not sure who to believe. It didn't turn out to be an issue.

  • Comments: For those thinking about doing this race I would highly recommend it. The best Ironman swim in the world, scenic ride and great crowds on the run. Just bring some sunblock. I have a feeling I will be back to do that one.

  • Comments: I would do this race again for sure. The spectator support was unreal. I felt like a pro they way the crowd supported me. Even after the race I was called "a local celebrity" on a sail boat cruise we went on. The island is beautiful and it is great to relax and have a vacation to celebrate an awesome accomplishment.
