  • Overall course based on my ability: Too hard

  • Comments: Race was pretty well organized and the aid stations were pretty much first rate and volunteers were very helpful and supportive. All athletes and people lining the course were very positive and made a newbie feel pretty good, even though I wasn't happy with the time, I was estatic that I finished and was happy to have the FIRST TRI in the books

  • Comments: This race was extremely well organized. For a first year event, and a new racing company, they did a fantastic job. There was nothing I needed while I was out on the course that wasn't taken care of. Except for the hills to be over. LOL!

  • Overall course based on my ability: Too hard

  • Comments: The course was brutal, but it was advertised as so prior to the race, so I can't really complain. The race was very well run, and was worth the higher-than-usual entry fee. Obviously my times (other than the swim) are very disappointing, but I'm just glad it happened here and not in my Ironman. Now I have a three week period to take it easy, recover, and come up with a nutrition plan.

  • Comments: Great first run - loved the huge TV screen with live coverage and live commentary. Kept things interesting while I was waiting around. Cool awards - pottery. I have to give a shout out to two teammates: Suzie who rocked her first ever 1/2 with a 2nd overall in the amateur division (4:58!!!). And Yokes for winning his AG with a sub 5 hr time.

  • Comments: Great race especially for a first year event. More top pros in any race this side of Kona, so it was very cool to meet and see how they handled this cousre. The two winners called it the toughest HIM they ever remember doing. Great voluneers and Team Trakkers represented well even if the decives still had a few glitches 9 poor cell reception in the area realy was a challenge)

  • Comments: This was an awesome race. I loved racing with the pros. I saw a lot of the pro women finishing up as I was beginning the run. The race was very well-organized, especially for being a first race for Rev3. I raced as a member of Team Trakkers, so I got to help out on Saturday, too, and that was interesting to see some of the behind the scenes stuff. The location was great for the kids, although my husband was probably more tired than me at the end of the weekend. A HIM is not the best race to bring a 2 and a 6 year old! Rev3 is going to start a series next year with some different lengths, and I think it is going to be something to watch. I do think the course was incredibly difficult. Not having done a HIM all by myself it's hard to say how I would have fared, but I think the bike would have kicked my butt even more than the run. If anything, it just makes me want to work harder than ever to improve.

  • Comments: Great first effort by Rev3. I understand they're planning sprints, olympics and full-irons now. Need to sort out their website. Had loads of errors on it. But can't fault the organisation on race day. And the pro-field was awesome, so inspiring.
