  • Comments: I have a new satisfaction that feels unfamiliar after finishing this race. I had a very detailed plan of action provided by my great coaches,and the plan was executed with a measure of success. Initially I was overwhelmed with the idea of just finishing this race; as it got closer, I decided to try and come up with a finishing time goal. When I woke up race day, I had a reality check, and decided I would just finish as strong as possible. I am proud that I kept going on the bike while in pain, and getting out on the run and enjoying nearly 100% of it. The "no-drama" swim was also excellent. I am very happy, albeit a bit sore, and I am definitely going to revisit this distance again and see what I can do.

  • Comments: Overall a very well run race. This has to be one of the best I have raced in. I was a bit surprised at the limited porta-potties on the run as I only noticed one. I definitely will attend the 5430 events in the future.

  • Comments: I have to agree with everyone, more porta pottys on the course would be nice. Glad I didn't need one.

  • Comments: very good event. The weather would really have been a lot worse. Well organized and great volunteers. I'm sorry I didn't stick around to socialize with all the BT'ers. There are so many of you I haven't met. We pawned our 20mo old and 3mo old onto our friends so my wife could enjoy the morning out on the Res. Its been the first time since our youngest was born that we've had sitters for both so we took advantage of the solitude and I took my wife out to lunch.

  • Comments: Good race, good day. I really wanted to get under 5 hours and somehow I did. I liked the idea of instead of a finisher's medal, they gave you a finisher's pint glass. That will definitely get used. Also, this was a PR by 32 minutes.

  • Comments: Today was a personal best at this distance... I shaved about 29 minutes off my previous personal best. This course 2 years ago. I am really happy with my ride. It may have been my best ride ever. This was a challenging day and I think I lived up to it!

  • Comments: A little frustrated with my run mainly since I have made some big improvements in training this year but haven't been able to carry it over to races. But even with a :15 slower swim and a :30 slower run than last year I was still about 13' faster overall, and the main thing is that I went under 6hrs so I am quite happy. It was also really cool to see BT'ers all over the course especially since I don't have anyone to come and cheer for me. The race was well run as always and it is always fun to have the pros breathing down your neck even if they are on their 2nd lap & you're on your 1st.

  • Comments: The aid stations were done very well. They could have been spread out a bit more since they seemed to be too close to eachother on the first half of the loop, but I'm not really complaining. The bike course is definitely a fast course. If you're looking to PR for a HIM, the course won't hold you back, but the heat could get to you.

  • Comments: Even with the dismal run, I had a great swim, a great bike, and I took 40 minutes off my previous HIM PR, so I am very happy with my over all performance. 5430 Sports always puts on a nice race. Very, very well organized. They did a great job of keeping the aid stations stocked with water and ice on a very hot day, although some were out of sponges on the second lap. I would only change 2 things: 1) more potties on the run; and 2) something else for the finisher's souveniers--um, thanks for the pint glass?!

  • Comments: WEll done 5430 sports and Barry and Jodee Siff. Just awesome on a hot day. Good to see everyone have a super day out there. It was fun seeing everyone on the bikes and in transition. I have never really spectated and got to see all the BT'ers in transition, on the bike or on the run! Very fun day. I think we are doing it as a relay again next year because I am not doing any long course next year.

  • Comments: 5430 Sports had a potential disaster on their hands with today's heat. They did an EXCELLENT job on the run aid stations. Without the ice, sponges, cold water, etc. there would have been a lot more DNFs and people in the med tent. I did think it was funny that they gave out beer glasses at the finish line. Hmmm. Mix glass with exhausted, sweaty, wet athletes and you end up with a lot of dropped, broken glasses. Not smart. But overall, a good race.

  • Comments: Managed to beat last year's time by 30 minutes! That's amazing, and it's all because of Mike Ricci and D3 coaching. There's no way I'm improving like that without their support and guidance. Really a well-run, wonderful, race. Barry's just the king, and this has to be one of the best Half-Ironman events in the country. Two weeks to go before Ironman Kentucky!
