  • Comments: This was my 2nd HIM and my first attempt in the wind and heat of White Lake. I'll know better what to expect next year and , hopefully, won't make the same mistakes again! Race time: 5:50:15 (plus 2:00 penalty...argh!)

  • Comments: This race lived up to the billing. It was well orgainized and well orchistrated. It would have recieved a 5 except I think that the discription of the roads for the bike was a little optimistic. This was my first Half Iorn, but will not be my last and I would like to make this an annual event.

  • Comments: This would be an awesome venue if you ever want to race an HIM for speed. This is a fast course. I was proud of myself for not doing anything stupid and not letting my racing ego get the best of me. I did exactly what my coach wanted me to do on the run.

  • Comments: I'm disappointed with the last part of the bike & my run. My overall bike time was in line with what I wanted, but I should have been able to maintain that power through the end of the bike to take off another couple or three minutes. The run is still where i give away a lot of time, even when I'm not puking. The only time I pass anybody is when they're melting down. No doubt my nutritional issues played a big part in this. The infinit experiment is over for me and I'm going back to carbopro for calories b/c I've used it in a lot of races an never once had GI issues, even in ironman. I should have just stuck with that & not experimented this year, I guess. Because I stopped taking in so much fluid on the bike (and because I did not pee from 7 in the morning until about 2:30 that afternoon) I feel like I was probably pretty dehydrated, even though I took a lot of water in on the run, so that wouldn't have helped either.
