  • Comments: I know a lot of people have their own opinions about WTC brand events - this was my first WTC and the entry fee sure was high but I thought it was well organized, the course was challenging but beautiful, spectators and volunteers and aid stations were all fantastic and I would do it again. Likes: more than I thought – the morning bag to dump just by the swim start was great, why don’t all tris do this? My family loved the live results – my wife had sent me a voicemail ‘congrats’ even before I got back to the car to retrieve it, she said it was great to know I was out of the water, back from the bike etc. The organization was slick and the finisher pix photos were better than most – I might even buy one for the first time ever. Dislikes: 1.) aid station fluid choices - Ironman Perform is just foul. 2.) What’s the point of putting your bike in transition the night before? I have to go in on race morning anyway with shoes, helmet, run gear etc. so what does having my bike there already

  • Comments: This is one of my favorite races on the 70.3 circuit. The course is gorgeous and challenging, the volunteers and spectators were great and the RD's really did a great job with everything. It also had a better vibe than some other 70.3's that I've done- it felt more like a 'local' event, in a really good way- but still had plenty of tough competition and the other details that you'd expect from a WTC event. I highly recommend the race, especially when they move it to June when the temps should be above 50!!

  • Comments: This was a well organized, well supported, beautiful venue. The bike course was tough, but made up for the difficulty with incredible scenery. There were supporters throughout the entire bike and run course. The town really came out in numbers to support this event. Highly recommend!!
