  • Lots of volunteers to help?Yes
  • Plenty of drink stations?Yes

  • Post race activities? Good
  • Overall course based on my ability: Too hard

  • Comments: This race is another top-notch, world-class Ironman event. The only bad thing is the separate transition areas and the access to the Fairmont Orchid hotel. It was a pain to have to take the shuttles back and forth several times - especially since we didn't stay at the Fairmont. The heat and humidity make for a very challenging race. The mass start, no wetsuit swim and riding portions of the Kona course make it very exciting. I would definitely recommend doing it for anyone that gets the chance. Just be prepared for a lot of extra-curricular activities and a very difficult challenge from the elements. We caught a break with the wind. It could have been much worse.

  • Comments: This was a fantastic race. I had a great time in Kona and didn't want to come home. I have so many people to thank as always for this great performance...most notably Brian Stover my coach and Ashley, my wonderful girlfriend who always puts up with me. Also, to all my BT friends, you guys and gals are the best and a great inspiration to keep training and get faster. I'm really looking forward to the next one. I'm thinking I might give Lake Stevens a try to maybe get a slot into Vegas...we'll see.

  • Comments: Awesome race. I don't care what people say about the WTC and Ironman...but this was NOTHING like anything I have ever experienced. From packet pickup to the finish line, there is just a vibe at this event like no other small local race. I can only imagine what Kona is like in October. The volunteers were absolutely amazing. I thanked as many people as I could. Overall...this whole experience from training to race day was awesome. I had so much fun, I can't wait to come back.
