  • Comments: The volunteers were the best I have seen. I loved the themed water stops and all the costumes. Every lap you would still have to smile no matter how bad I felt when you saw them. They stayed until the very end!!!!!

  • Comments: What an amazing first IM experience. I could not have asked for a better race, on a better day, put on by a better group of people. The volunteers were great, the cops were all smiling (except one by Cherry Lake Rd around mile 105) and the whole experience was wonderful. I would highly recommend this race to everyone and especially anyone for their first IM. I can't imagine doing my first as an M-dot race. My next IM is 2008 IM CDA so I have one great IM under my belt before I attempt that. I can't complain- my first time out I placed 10th in my age group and won an award! That's a story for the grandkinds one day! IM CDA here I come!

  • Comments: Huge thanks to my support crew (wife, mom, and dad). I couldn't have done it without them. They all wore Carolina blue t-shirts with my name on it and some motivational sayings. Knowing they were there cheering me on got me through some tough moments on the run when my knee was really hurting. GFT is a great independent IM race. It was well run and much lower stress than what I'm guessing an m-dot race is like. This was my first (and likely my last) iron distance race. I couldn't be happier with the experience, my time, or my support crew. I owe everyone who helped me, trained with me, etc. along the way.
