  • Comments: For my first Ironman, this was an amazing event. I met Leanda Cave, the 2012 Ironman World Champion and she also won this event. I had my wife, brother and friend Dudley there to support me and the overwhelming support from my friends around the world on facebook made it all worth it. I'm looking forward to next year, hoping I can do a sub 6 hour time.

  • Comments: I heard this race was horrible in 2010 or whenever the first year was. This was year #3, and it was great. Volunteers were great, race officials were polite / informed. Traffic control was excellent. Swim was organized and memorable. My only suggestion would be to either make the waves larger or go from 4 minutes to 3 minutes between waves to get the people off sooner. Pros took off at like 7:20AM and I didn't begin until 8:39AM. Also - they shut down the store after the race. Poor decision. I would've bought some stuff.

  • Comments: No toilet paper to be found anywhere. No porta potties for triathletes only or in the transition area. Railroad tracks, while covered with mats, were still dangerous. Some potholes while down-town. Boring ride up US 27 but smooth. Windy windy windy (thanks to Hurricane Sandy). Didn't feel like I was sweating much. Very little dripping on my bike or the run. Maybe I shouldn't drink as much; but I was a little thirsty. Bloating was less than first HIM; but still present. Maybe I should take anti-gas (smithecone?) to help with it?
