  • Comments: To the chick who wouldn't let me pick up my packet on Saturday because I was 5 MINUTES LATE. You shouldn't wear spandex out in public because it makes you look constipated.

  • Comments: would have gotten a four if it had been the first time I've done this race, but given as it was the third year in a row, I feel like it's regressed.

  • Comments: Terrible post race. Huge line for food so we skipped it and couldn't get bike out of transition forever. Were letting 10 people in at a time. Then they finally opened it up so everyone was in at once, which means everyone was trying to leave the parking lot at the same time. WORST post race ever!

  • Comments: I really enjoyed the race. It was exactly as expected. No surprises. I thought it was really we organized other than never finding sports drink (could have been me.) Really could have used a Gatorade on the run or after finishing. The post race food could have been better. Although I did love the Evol mini Burrito!

  • Comments: eh, it's definitely not the jewel of the boulder tri series and it's obvious. still, brings out a lot of fast people to make me feel super f'ing slow.

  • Comments: Ironman does a great job of logistics. Just a few suggestions: hate the plastic cups on the run, it is much easier to pinch and poor the paper cups, post race food was pretty lame and there weren't any recovery drink vendors on hand which was disappointing.

  • Comments: Overall a good race and I loved seeing how well organized it was. Lot's of friendly volunteers. But...was surprised to see the lack of real food - just a lot of appetizers - what's up with that? Had to go out to eat afterwards. I have seen better venues for less $$. Great medals though!

  • Comments: I had a great time, the beer tent was my favorite post-race. But for over a thousand racers on the course, it all felt very smooth and well-executed. Bike security was definitely in place, no slacking on that. Kind of a lot of Ironman merchandise crap, but that's hardly a surprise. It's nice to get a finisher medal, too.

  • Comments: WTC will take a drubbing for not doing things the Siff way, and they can clearly streamline some of the non-race administrivia. Cotton Tees, with a design that looks like it came from a grade school art contest, at least they could have gone with the 1st place winner. On the other hand, whoever you are dude, quit yelling at the volunteers, they didn't stripe the parking and I got my big Expedition out just fine; your little Subaru can get out just as easy. Try and find a staffer in a red IronMan shirt to have a rational discussion with next time please, they're paid to make you feel important, the rest of us just think you're rude.

  • Comments: I was very intimidated about racing in Boulder. It was nice to hear that there were 300 first timers at this race. Somehow I doubt that will be the case at the next two races. Gulp.

  • Comments: Huge lines during check in on Saturday and another HUGE line to get your stuff out of transition after the race. I hope WTC gets some of these worked out before the Peak and 70.3. Other than that a really well organized race!
