  • Comments: What can I say. This is one of, if not the most brutal 70.3 races in the world. The weather stunk but the volunteers hung in through a torrential downpour. They were OUTSTANDING! Other than the weather, I have zero complaints. A great race.

  • Comments: Can not say enough about this race. The people and volunteers of Branson are just awesome! Seeing those little kids standing out in the epic downpours handing out drinks and gu was just endearing. Hats off to Pro Devon Palmer! His race was over on the bike course and he stayed out there helping age groupers out with flats and even giving up his rear Zipp disk to someone who flatted. What other sport would pro's do this in? If you want a fair and challenging race course with a town that rolls out the red carpet and great volunteers look at Branson. Next year the race will be held Oct 7th which should help with the temps and being to close to Las Vegas.

  • Comments: Volunteers were Fantastic. The weather was crappy, but they were right there supporting us. Would like to do it again, but I think I'll train more and take a few days off after to make the drive home. 26 hours with only 2 hours sleep was a little rough. Especially when I race for almost 8 of the 26.
