  • Comments: Except for the mis-measurement and that they had us swimming in lightening I thought his was a very well run event. I guess this is the first year that Ironman ran it and they did a good job. FOr me the race was a confidence builder since it was my first true Olympic distance...I nailed the nutrition...fought through some tough race conditions and qualified for the 5i50 AG National Championships at HYVee (that was very unexpected and very exciting)!

  • Comments: Start2Finish is to be commended. While I was skeptical about the change in venues because I felt the race would lose some of its character, the new venue is exceptional for those of us coming from a long way away with families. The race takes place right on the grounds of the hotel resort, which makes it really nice for family spectators to sleep in and go back to their room when they want. THe nearby Kids Quest facility also allows parents to drop off the kids for some fun while racing or even while hitting one of the nearby casinos (and you know I love the Black Jack.) As far as my performance goes, I've turned in faster times at Memphis in May, but never placed better in my AG. I'm also positive my time was affected by the extended length of the swim and run courses. Still, I was very happy with my result. Really, a great race and I will be back, as always.

  • Comments: Good race. Good support. Facilities were pretty nice and family friendly. Course was flat and fast. Wish the rain would of held off. The pre-race and post-race festivities appeared well organized. We didn't stay after the race, as I had to go back to Memphis and pick up the family. They had decided to stay in Memphis on Saturday night with cousins and because of the rain/storms didn't make it back down for the race, so we didn't have time to attend the post race party. Next year maybe.
