• Comments: First of all, this was my first triathlon. I am foolish, but also had planned for a sprint and Oly earlier this year, but life happens and both got scrubbed for various reasons. I decided to go ahead anyways with the HIM and really enjoyed it. The people in Iowa are very special. The race was well run and although corn fields are not the most exciting scenery, the park and lake are beautiful. You can tell the RD really wants to put on an event people enjoy and I was impressed. I enjoyed the race so much except miles 8-11 and would consider doing it again next year if my wife allows. Finally, this place (BT) rocks, it really is a friendly one-stop place for triathletes and I am glad that I found it.

• Comments: Well, my first HIM is in the books and despite finishing a little poorer than I had hoped I am still pleased. This is only my fourth triathlon ever and I have alot to learn still. It's funny during the run I was kept thinking I would never do a race of this distance again yet that evening over dinner I was telling my girlfriend all the things I would do differently for the next one. So I either have a short memory, a masochistic enjoyment of pain, an unrelenting strive to be better, or a wicked combination of the aforementioned traits that's going to keep me coming back for more for quite awhile.
