  • Comments: This was a great race and I will definitely do again. Very organized and excellent help by all of the volunteers. If I were to look for a area of improvement (very minor), it would be to add more volunteers at the end of the race. When I crossed the finish line, I was asked to remove my timing chip and place it into the box. With pushing as hard as I did for the last km, I was worried that I might fall over it I attempted to remove the chip. Luckily, I didn't. Everything from carb load meal, pre-race meeting, race and post race meal with awards were excellent! Wouldn't recommend this race to anybody as they could potentially sign up before me! ; ) If you are thinking of doing a Half ironman distance race, this is a great race to do!

  • Comments: Did it. Broke 6. Broke my mental block. Now I have to run it faster without the pain. This is a fantastic race that rivals any 70.3 race (from what I've heard) in terms of volunteer support. The whole race is focused on Age Groupers - although some pros and semi-pros come out to this. There is great prize money, awards, super door prizes (I won a $500 gift certificate for a tri store) and two meals includes with registration. Do this race!

  • Comments: This was a great race. I'm happy with this. I wanted to come under 6 hours and I would have without the flat tire. I felt good on the bike and for the first half of the run. Run was 10 min faster than my last HIM run and this is a 20 min PR. ALTHO.. my other HIM was on a very hilly course, so it's not quite comparable!
