  • Comments: This is a great venue and a great race. I loved the individual numbers on the bike racks. This is a great place to try a first half iron. I had no idea what to expect - thrilled with a 5:17 for my first one.

  • Comments: Setup always puts on a great race. Not sure that I have any desire to come back to White Lake anytime soon though. It's a great race atmosphere and overall I enjoyed the race but I'm almost done with long course races. Maybe they will resurface the roads in a few years and give it another shot.

  • Comments: The race lived up to its reputation as a "heat fest". Was hoping to do better but as this was my first HIM distance race I can't complain.

  • Comments: Race delayed 40 minutes due to fog on lake. Well organized but HS volunteers had no idea what to do. I had an average race and tried to hold back bike pace was again too hot on the run. Ended up on a 5 min run and 1 min walk pace. Water and ice sponges every mile was much appreciated. Rain and lightning started just after I finished so didn't stick around long.

  • Comments: The only negative thing I have to say about this race is the quality of the bike course. The roads really were not great, and although they were flat, the uneven pavement made things difficult. Also, there was only one porta potty on the bike course, which I thought was strange. I thought the volunteers were really good, especially on the run course. I only had one issue getting sponges, and that was when a 13 year old girl volunteer manning the sponge station was flirting with at least a 16 year old kid working water. I was pretty firm with her that I needed sponges now. Let's be honest - someone needed to intervene.
