  • Comments: Race volunteers, director, and course were great. The rain sucked but what can you do. Many volunteers were experienced triathletes so they were even more awesome. Wish more spectators would have stayed off the run course near the turnaround.

  • Overall course based on my ability: Just right

  • Comments: If you want to do an iron distance race and don't need a bunch of hoopla and glitz, this is a very good race. Well organized, great staff and volunteers, and good course (other than some rough spots on bike course). Lower cost, don't have to get there as early, normal transition, less crowded... great way to just get out there and do an IM distance race.

  • Overall course based on my ability: Too easy

  • Comments: I think this was a great choice for me. I raced the HIM the year before, so was comfortable with the course and logistics. I look back at all of the early morning workouts and long solo rides and can be glad of the outcome.

  • Comments: Considering the cost and distance of this race, I cannot argue. The price of an M-dot race is a little steep for my budget currently. And I've already experienced the M-dot hoopla last year at Arizona in April. If you're looking for an "event", then the M-dot is for you. But if you're looking for a quality race, then Redman is a nice way to go.

  • Comments: This was my first 140.6. I did my first triathlon in 1986 and while I did take about a 10-year break...I have probably participated in 40-50 triathlons in my lifetime. never until a couple years ago had I any desire to go 140.6. Not that I didn't think I could do it...I just didn't see the point of it. I was more motivated to try and go faster than longer (somehow that does not sound right). Last year though, admitting to myself I am only getting slower I thought I would give it a shot and discussed it with my wife. While she was not overjoyed to hear that this was something I wanted to do...she supported me and she and the kids were a great support this past summer while i was training! While i enjoyed training (alot) and participating for this event it is not likely I would ever do it again. In fact, I even told my family that this would be it! So I think as far as tris for me...probably sprints and olys is all I am going to make time for in the future. As far as Redman ...I

  • Comments: Volunteers were excellent!!! Everyone I said "I appreciate it" to said "we appreciate you more". They were so helpful! The only bad thing about the weekend was the check in process. It was a little disorgaznized and wound up taking a very long time.
