Comments: all in all it's a well run race. the $90 entry fee is great in comparison to the $250 for ironman sponsored races. i'm a race director so i know how many finite details go into planning these. this was my first half and after this race i have a whole new level of respect for people who can do full ironmans. i don't think that is anywhere in my future....yet

Comments: I am just so impressed at the way this race unfolded. The organizers had all the important things set up and secured for us. The police, marshalls, and volunteers were ever-present and its a pretty good feeling knowing that you can just concentrate on your event and your effort and that you can rely on well manned bottle exchanges and intersections. With such a challenging course you would think that there might be more problems but race staff were constantly zipping by ready to address any problems. I strongly recommend this event.

Comments: Didnt get the opportunity to participate in post race activities but that was probably my fault due to my finishing time. Will continue to train over the winter time and will compete in another half iron distance race next year. Consider this race a success as this is only my second year competing in triathalons and my overall goal for the day was to finish the race. A learning experience.

Comments: I will consider Pigman again. I really enjoyed the race. The venue was tricky for parking, especially with the family showing up later. Well organized and very well supported. The weather couldn't have been better. Morning temps in the upper 50s, race temp in the 70s with some wind. The best weather that I could have asked for. If temps would have been in the upper 90s, could have been really bad.

Comments: First time at Pigman. I would consider again but it's not a definite. Awards and door prizes were going to wait until the last finisher was in, they were looking at 5:00-5:30. That's 4 hours after I was done, way too much of a wait.
