• Comments: Only one comment - did a warm bath and Ibuprofen Sunday night. Very little soreness or stiffness Monday. Got a low-grade bug Tuesday, ran its course thru my body and the rest of the week, finished Friday at 182 pounds versus pre-race 190 weight. Finally feeling human again, invigorated and planning for next year!

• Comments: Last year I 100% bonked on the run portion of this race. My goal for 2009 was to come back to race smarter. I trained harder this year than last, and I raced smarter. My time this year was approx 50 min faster than last year's time. This was my "A" race for the year, and I'm very pleased with the results. Even though I'm very pleased with the outcome of the race I can only rate this race as a 3. Most of the roads on the bike course were pretty rough. Also the food after the race was only decent at best (the ice cream was good).

• Comments: This is a small race compared to the other HIM and IM I've done, but I had a good time, and as always Setup Events did a bang-up job running it. I was a bit disappointed about the road quality on parts of the bike course -- not really the chip and seal portion (which is super-short and not that bad) but some of the other parts. It was nothing dramatically bad, but it did grate on one's nerves a bit.
