Comments: Still rough around the edges for Alpha Win - last minute swim course change, late start, minimal volunteers, and could use another aid station on the run. But I love this venue and will keep coming back.

Comments: This may be my favorite race out there. The course is great, plenty of volunteers, and you can't beat the beer tent! That I would have my best race ever here (and first one after turning 30) is just so fitting.

Overall course based on my ability: Too hard

Comments: I really enjoyed this race, even though I didn't do as well as expected. I probably won't be back, since we try to do one-and-done big races. Plus, I had trouble sleeping through the partying and it was too touristy for my taste.

Comments: The race itself was AWESOME! Great location, great views, fairly flat course. Plenty of GREAT volunteers, plenty of aid stations. My only criticism is there wasn't a lot set up for the spectators. No water, no food. For people to be out there for 4-7 hours cheering for their athlete, I would have thought something would be set up...even to sell stuff. The surrounding food places weren't open until lunch. The ONLY place open was McDonalds......need I say more?

Comments: This was the first year for the Half Iron distance and I think they did a great job. I enjoyed the course, they were organized and the food/drinks/goodie bag/prizes at the end were great (they had FRUIT SMOOTHIES at the finish, people). Would definitely consider doing this one again. Especially if they re-measured the bike course. ;)

Comments: I thought the race was fantastic! Plenty of volunteers to help out at corners. Very impressed with the organization of it. The only thing I can see them needing to change is more sponges. There was a couple times I went by an aid station and they had none left.
