  • Comments: This is a great race. It is run better than any other race that I do. The RD makes sure that you feel cared about while you are out on the course and again after you finish. The goody bag is the best in the business too. Looking forward to going back next year healthy. I am proud of the effort I put out after thinking on Thursday and Friday that I wouldn't be able to even give it a go.

  • Comments: This race was very important because it was to make up for not finishing my first Ironman in Coeur d'Alene this last June. I got hypothermia past the half-way point on the run, which left me very disappointed and a little demoralized. I almost didn't do the Full because I had been sick with a cold and then the flu 3 weeks before the race and after the plane rides, my voice became froggy, which is usually the first sign of my yearly bout of bronchitis. I switched to Half on the Friday, but when the bronchitis didn't appear the next day. Meagan (sp?) Lowery allowed me to switch back to Full (THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU...). I'm so glad that I did this race and my finish completely made up for the disappointment in Coeur d'Alene. It was my first completed Full iron-distance race, and I received an award for being 3rd in my age group. This race is so well organized (it would have to be to let a neurotic triathlete change her mind twice) and fun. The volunteers were spectacular!!
