  • Comments: Overall, pleased with the event and with my time. Day after HIM rested; following day went out for a 10k run and did best time at 52min. Surprised that I didn't feel achey at all following the event. Likely could have pushed harder throughout, but was a great experience and glad I did it.

  • Comments: There needed to be an area close to the finish for fluids, carbs, shade, etc. After the fact, I found out that if you walked all the way back through the village to registration they had pizza and fluids but that was hardly intuitive.

  • Overall course based on my ability: Too easy

  • Comments: I liked this race. I didn't see any food though. I'm sure there was but I looked at the finish line and to the exit and they only had bottled water and the protein shake. The swim was well organized. TONS of boats out there. Bike course was super easy but the open traffic for 15-20 miles sort of sucked. Trying to pass people safely at this part was a little difficult. I liked that the course was one giant loop so I didn't have to loop to the slower people and it helped keep packs down to a minimum. Run course sucked, imo. I did not like the trail part. The fist sized rocks everywhere meant you needed to step with care. Not horrible by any means but I'm sore from trying to balance my tired body on them for 13 miles. Overall I liked this race.

  • Overall course based on my ability: Too hard

  • Comments: Although I didn't perform well, this was a great race and I had a lot of fun. Had a great attitude when it was over... I finished which is all I wanted to do. I stressed a lot before the race and considered dropping out a number of times due to lack of proper training and preparedness. It was awesome racing with Christian and I hope to do plenty more races with him over the years.
