  • Comments: I had an amazing race experience. Yes I finished over an hour slower than my goal race time, but I also finished way higher overall than if I had hit my time in conditions from the previous year. I paced well and possibly could have pushed a bit harder, but I also felt great afterwards other that being really cold. I should have brought a sweatshirt to the hotel, but didn't and that is my biggest complaint. The RWB team showed up big on this and it was another motivating factor throughout the day On another note, I should have paused for more pictures with my wife and kids during the race. They showed up from start to finish. For a 3.5 year old and a 7 year old to endure a VERY full day with Erin as the Sherpa was nothing short of a miracle. It took me nearly a month to get around to writing this, with many other things in life going on. I can only say I am BLESSED beyond comprehension and am excited to do another!

  • Comments: Race recap: First and foremost, THANKS to all the 3,000 volunteers!!! IMAZ does an amazing job with the athletes. From the check-in on Friday to the Finish on Sunday they take great care to ensure all the athletes have a positive experience. Examples for those who have never done a Full Ironman: At the swim finish they had folks helping pull you out of the water, up the stairs and wetsuit rippers to peel you out your wetsuit in record time. Then once you have your Bike Gear Bag another volunteer helps you clean your feet, make sure you don't forget you helmet, socks and they take your wetsuit and put into your gear bag for later pick-up. Exiting the transition there are numerous volunteers to put on bullfrog sunblock (super important). During the ride I never even came close to running low in nutrients, they passed out energy drinks, GU's, bananas, oranges, water, Vaseline, any thing you could think of. They had several assistance vehicles to aide with flats. At the Bike to Run transition
