  • Comments: I am very happy to have finished my first Half Ironman. I didn't quit in spite of adversity and I finished. I didn't care about time at any point in the race. This race was about me overcoming and finishing. I wanted to prove all the nay sayers wrong. And most of all I wanted to prove to myself that I wasn't a quitter. I FINISHED!

  • Comments: Race itself was OK. No SWAG bag at all just a t-shirt. Post-race food was ok, hot dog, trail mix and and some munchies. No fruit and I only saw water. Price was great when I signed up last December. I did go to Cities on Fri for packet pickup and to check out the course, primarily becuase I hadn't done it before and knew we'd be getting to hotel late on Sat night after Koch wedding.

  • Comments: The lake was great for swimming, the bike was good except for the rough patch of road. There were water stops at every mile on the run, and they had gatorade and water at every water stop. It was a little tough for spectators to get into the park when the race was on. My wife said if she went to watch she would just park on the street. There was no swag at all, not even a T-shirt, but they did let us keep the swim cap.:-) I'm not complaining because I signed up last December when it was 1/2 price for $40. That's a pretty good price for a HIM. I was looking at some other HIM's in the area and they were $130. There were plenty of volunteers and I thought the race was well ran.
