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

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

  • Comments: The aid stations were plentiful. Overall the race ran smoothly. I was hoping for some pizza or something at the end. Maybe it was all gone by the time I finished...This course is tough. I would not recommend for as someone's first HIM. The hills, wind, and heat make for a fierce combination of things to battle. I definitely felt a sense of accomplishment, but my time was somewhat disappointing.

  • Comments: They really need to rethink this race and have more help. I know this is a tough course but support is a must on a course like this and they did not provide it. I know it is a individual sport but when you have lots of trouble like I did the support needs to be there and not leave you out there for that long to fin for your self.

  • Overall course based on my ability:

  • Comments: I started my own business last year. In April, it got the best of me and I had to limit my training. This continued through June. I did not start at Lonestar and I did nto want to do that twice in a row, so I showed up knowing it was going to be a long, tough day. I went from wanting to PR the distance earlier this year to matching my PR, to wanting to PR the course by th etime race day showed up. Teh last time I did this race, which was in 2004, I weighed 35 pounds more than now and did not really know how to train for this distance. I knocked an hour off of my previous best time at this course but I was an horu 20 minutes slower than my last 1/2 IM. I guess proper training makes a HUGE difference :-0 This race was just about gutting it out when I knew I was in for a tough day.

  • Comments: Overall this is a great race. I wish it was closer so I could of pre-road the course to know what to expect. I felt like I did everything right and I really don't have any clue what happen. Those hills must of really affected me.
