  • Comments: This is my 2nd HIM and my 1st had 150 people so the feel was much different. This was a great race from beginning to end. My only beef is with USAT and getting hit with a penalty. I understand their position but when 4 out of the top 10 are hit with penalties and the course is loop so its a total mixture of abilities on the bike course they didn't deal an even hand. The guy who took 3rd Overall was hit with 3 penalties! Come on. During the first loop I had the motorbikes following me 3times and saw them over 6times but on my 2nd loop only saw they once. RD was pretty pissed when they posted three sheets of penalties and the women next to me who rode the course at 15mph got a drafting penalty! Food wasn't good and I heard the food from 2011 was awesome but the pulled pork sandbo I got on my way home was what I wanted anyway! I can't complain as I crushed my PR by 30mins. Now it's time to kick up the volume on the bike & run and set my sights on Lake Placid.

  • Comments: 2nd Year for me doing this race. I love the area of VA that it's in. Greg and Setup Events do a fantastic job of putting on a great race. So much so, that you don't even really know they are there. They are in the back drop the whole time. But, you can clearly see, they work very hard to make the race run as smooth as it does. Fantastic weather in 2012 and a great day. Highly recommend this event for anyone looking for a tough half ironman to race.

  • Comments: This race would be better if; *the few potholes on course were spay painted with dots leading up and a circle around *the food and the vendor serving were better and polite *one of 4 water stations on run weren't handing out brown tinged water Really, this is my second SetUp event and they are really good. All above are minor and I will be doing more Set Up events Lord and body willing. They do a nice job.

  • Comments: Good job as always by Setup Events. They delayed the start 15 minutes to let the fog burn off and given that it was going to be a sunny day it burned off quickly.
