  • Comments: They had announced at the carb load dinner that there were 450+ registered but only 318 showed up at the starting line. Number 301 crossed the finish at the nine hour mark. I really enjoyed the race. The problems I had were all of my own making. At the awards dinner the race promoter was talking about how tough the course is. Sure, he was pumping up his race, but he does have some grounds for his claims.

  • Comments: This was an absolutely fantastic race. Sub10Events ran an absolutely fantastic race. Only splitting out the T! and T2 in timing could have made it technically better. The course was well marked and the volunteers were absolutely fabulous. The town people of Sylvan Lake came out to cheer us on in the run...many of them had garden hoses out for us to run under to stay cool and offered to spray us as we went...many also offered oranges and other food items to us as we ran...they were fantastic people. I just don't know how this race could have been any better.
