  • Events on time?Yes

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

  • Overall course based on my ability: Just right

  • Comments: I could not have asked for anything more on my first IM!!! It was everything I expected and more. My three pieces of advice going forward: 1. Keep moving forward (lots of people) 2. Take moments in each leg of the race to take in what you are doing and enjoy them for mental flashbacks later. (Coworker Ironman Matt Foresman) 3. When you get to the run, don't focus on 26.2 miles, focus on Aid Station to Aid Station. (Paula Newby Frazier) **#3 was mentally great, at times I didnt even know what mile I was on, I just told myself now run to the next aid station***

  • Comments: This was our first time at Liberty and really enjoyed it. The venue was awesome with lots of green space, picnic areas, trails and nice lake. The post-race food left a little to be desired. Lots of volunteers and overall a very nice race. Pics here: http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/photos/photo-thumbnail...

  • Comments: Race was clearly geared toward elites. Race photographer and announcer were no longer present at finish line for all racers. A volunteer just took off our timing chip after the race with no comments made. Race food was well picked over.

  • Comments: I rated the race a 5 even though they ran out of water on the run. The race had a great atmosphere, lots of volunteers, etc. I absolutely loved the bike course and will do this one again next year.
