  • Comments: Well run race, LOTS of course support. Aid stations went well. Might have liked more/better food at the finish area, but even that was o.k. Parking was a minor pain - not easy to quickly get to your car and go after the race.

  • Overall course based on my ability: Too hard

  • Comments: This had to be the most humbling experience of my life. I'm amazed that I was able to find the mental and physical strength to complete this race. First off, I know the real fault here was my lack of sufficient training. I went into this race in survival mode. But I was also lacking in the course information preparation. I had no idea how challenging the bike leg was going to be. I'm not sure my training plan would have done much to prepare me for the hills and the wind. I know better now. I have some background first hand experience and knowledge now. The support staff for this race was awesome! More than enough people helping and cheering us on. There were more than enough aid stations with tons of aid offered. Overall, this was an awesome race and a mind altering experience. I sit back now and can look at what I was able to accomplish. I get a little perspective when I look at the results and see all of the DNF entries and know that one of them isn't me. I did finish

  • Comments: I was disappointed that my run was slower than last year, along with everything else for that matter. But I am convinced that other than my pre-mentioned swim mistake I ran the best race I could with my current fitness level. Was I happy with my performance? Not really, but this was a "B" race so I'll lick my wounds and try again.

  • Comments: This was a great race!! My only complaint was that the run aid stations were under-manned. They could have had fewer stations, but had more volunteers. A few times, I came to an aid station and they had no water or gatorade poured, or no ice out. No big deal because everything else was GREAT!

  • Comments: I really enjoyed this event and would recommend it to anyone. It's Kona after all! You're on that course! Wow...how much fun this was. Got to see Macca and Samantha, experience the lava fields, the winds... Just the additional motivation I needed to get a little more serious about training.

  • Comments: Great day of racing. My first HIM. I have doing a sub 5:45 HIM as a long term goal...I almost did that on my first try. I think I need to readjust. Long term goal........maybe sub 5:20. We'll make it a multi year project. Ammended w/ the official results: Okay, I was 63/87 in my ag on the swim. I was 44 of 87 on the run. And 19th fastest on the bike for my ag. I need to work on swimming and running!

  • Comments: Honu 70.3 Race Report June 3, 2006 Big Island PRE-RACE My custom is to log in my "best case" times for my races, so on May 26th, 2006, here are my pre-race predictions: Swim: 36' T1 3' Bike: 2h 45' T2 2' Run 1h 52’ Total 5h 18’ We will see if my predictive powers continue to amaze me!!! The above is what I posted to my “race log” at BT. The difficulty with this race is the heat/humidity. If you look at the times that people have done in the 2005 race, this is a good time. The guy who took 3rd in the 45-49 AG last year, ran a 1:59 ½ marathon, but he KILLED the bike. My 5:18 would put me 4th last year in the 45-49 AG. Not good enough for Hawaii slot. I am not going to worry about that, because I really do not expect that to happen at this race, although I have my checkbook ready! RACE DAY Honu is my first triathlon of the season, and my first one since Ironman Florida which was seven months ago. I did all the usual stuff that I always do on race

  • Comments: Wow, I am spoiled for certain now. run aid stations every mile at least. A buffet every 2 miles. This was a real class act. I am a little disapointed in my time, but pleased with my effort throught the race. I'm not in as good of shape as I thought. The course was tougher than what I had imagined it would be prior to arriving here. Doing a HIM is harder than I had imagined as well. Overall I am very happy with the overall race experience, my performance and my first M Dot experience. Here is a link to the IM Live AG. I'll update the ag ranks when available. http://liveupdate.ironmanlive.com/ppv/?rid=72
