  • Overall course based on my ability: Too hard

  • Comments: This is a great venue as always by ironman. The course features 2500 feet of serious climbing on the bike and some tough hills and heat on the run. Parking is a challenge for the venue. My goal for the race was 5:20 +/- 10 minutes, so I'm pretty ecstatic with my overall finish time.

  • Comments: Nice place for a race. I'd like to do Timberman again, but it falls on the weekend of IMMT next year. Maybe I'll do it in 2016.

  • Comments: Great race. Fantastic volunteers. Only real complaint is, on some of the downhills. either have volunteers further up the hill or put signs up saying to slow down. it seemed like you didn't have enough warning on a sharp turn after a step downhill. of course, an athlete should know the course. did not have time to drive the course prior. Challenging bike course, but fun. Hills were my limiter.

  • Comments: This is a great race. New Hampshire is a beautiful place, the course is fantastic and is a good mix between fun and challenging. There were plenty of aid stations on the bike and the run course and tons of volunteers to help out. It is one I will keep on my list to likely go back to next year.

  • Comments: This is a great race and its great racing close to home. And the perfect weather didn't hurt either. I'm happy with the race and my effort. Kudos to Scott Bradley for a great race and decisively beating me.

  • Comments: All in all a solid day. I didn't win as I plan but I did offered the best race I had in that day and most importantly, I never gave in to my negative thoughts. I kept on fighting and focusing on the next mile. This kept me in the game and brought me a 70.3 Tman PR

  • Comments: I really had no business doing as well as I did, yet I easily could've done better with more effort. I love this race, and having a place one mile from transition was a huge bonus. It was great getting to walk down to watch the Sprint race on Saturday morning. I was pretty tired the rest of the day, and a little stiff on Monday, but by Tuesday I basically felt fine. I guess I'll do Timberman again next year.

  • Comments: What a fantastic venue, course, group of volunteers, spectators and competitors, and day. This was my first HIM, but won't be my last, nor will it be the last time I do THIS race - just terrific. I was fortunate enough to race almost exactly the race I wanted, and I'm also super happy with the results. Very family friendly vibe, and the beach location is nice, as were the amenities. Next time I'll book a place earlier and CLOSER to the event - which will help with the logistics, but a very well organized and executed race/event. This one gets a top notch rating, for sure.

  • Comments: WTC knows how to run a race. On time, a million volunteers, highly organized - the whole thing was great. But, the best part was the Make a Wish team. I CANNOT RECOMMEND HIGHLY ENOUGH -- if you are going to do Timberman in the future, make the effort to be a fundraiser and race for the Make a Wish team. I have no affiliation with them whatsoever, and decided to raise money since I admire what they do. In return, you will receive support and appreciation unllike anything you can imagine, and probably have the best race weekend you could imagine. I know I did.

  • Comments: Not quite the results I was looking for but a huge improvement over the last 70.3. Also found a lot to take away from the race on the mental side. Starting to figure out what it takes to race a competitive 70.3.
