  • Comments: Great race and will do it again when last 24 miles of road is paved - road condition too lousy to enjoy; will use bathroom when needed and not try to hold it; goal was to break 6 hours in this first 1/2 IM; overall pleased with time but know I can break 5 1/2 hours in same conditions with no GI problems.

  • Comments: I was aiming for a sub 6 hour completion of my first half. Made a change in goals when I started the run and realized I had a chance at breaking 5:30. As a result I pushed the run much harder than I would have otherwise and I'm still sore almost 72 hours later, but the satisfaction is well worth it.

  • Comments: What a great weekend, great weather, stayed there Saturday night and sat in a kayak for the sprint on Sunday, it was interesting watching the different levels of swimmers, got to chat with a few of them as they hung on for a rest. Got to meet EllesDad Saturday, who must have had a great race because he placed!

  • Comments: Well planned, well thought out race. I think the bike course was great being flat and fast. I think it would have been better to be in reverse, having the bad pavement first, then settling into the nice easy road. Swim was great. Clean water, tasted good. Overall, a great race, and a great learning experience for my first HIM.

  • Comments: average heart rate 150 for whole race. Right where it needed to be, though it could have been higher. Maybe I did not give everything I had. Swim seemed high when I got out and I bet the high of 177 was during the swim. During the bike, it was probably around 144. During run it was around 160.

  • Comments: Set-up Inc always does a nice job. The flat course was a bonus for a 1st time 1/2 IMer.
