  • Comments: Race volunteers were fabulous! Racine citizens were great. It was well organized. This was my first HIM! I was pleasantly surprised with the finish time! I originally targeted a 6 hour finish then adjust that to 6:30 after calf injuries. So, I was very happy with 5:42. I had a beast swim, solid bike, and fell apart on the run (as anticipated). Next HIM, I will get revenge!

  • Comments: I wanted a massage but it was about a 1/2 wait so I didn't get one. I just stretched out more. Great race, awesome Ironcrew and spectators, very fun. I was smiling all day, and my wife kept saying how impressed she was with how good my spirits were. A very fun race!

  • Comments: Overall, very nice race and I'll likely do it again. Awesome AWESOME volunteers - thank you for all you do! I liked this race a lot. Didn't LOVE it, but really liked it. The bike course is SO damn bumpy, but it is also fast. The exit from the swim to T1 is a little ridiculous, but that can't really be helped. I'm not a fan of two-loop courses for runs, but it is nice to see your support crew more than once and there is some shade. I was very surprised that they didn't bring over more items from the Civic Center to be sold post-race. WTC giving up an opportunity to sell more M-Dot merchandise?!? That's a first! At least I saved a solid $30 to $50 by them not doing so.

  • Comments: No bathrooms at swim start really sucked and was poor planing, imo. I didn't like that I had to start almost 80 minutes after the start of the race. Luckily I brought a lot of water otherwise I'd be starting thirsty before the race even started. Good support of town/volunteers. Was a nice flat course but the roads need to be addressed like most races but they spent 10+ minutes at the race meeting talking about all the bad spots. Overall I'm happy with race. I did Kansas 70.3 in 6:06 last year. That course was harder than this but knocking off almost an hour off my HIM time in a year is something I plan to brag about to friends :)

  • Comments: My first Ironman 70.3. Challenging bike course and cold water swim. I really liked it despite loosing a steam on the run. Very well organized, nice medal and running cap. Plenty of spectators, volunteers, add stations. I would recommend it for first timers as you can count on mental support on the way.

  • Comments: The Ironman Vilalge was 1.5 miles from T1. This made logistics of getting around to checkin bikes difficult. The bike road conditions were horrible. I am not a fan of point-point races and I don't understand why the swim needs to be one. I will do this race again, but not for a few years. Overall a good experience for my first 70.3.
