  • Lots of volunteers to help?Yes
  • Plenty of drink stations?Yes

  • Post race activities? Below average
  • Overall course based on my ability: Just right

  • Comments: The waves are mixed with different age-groupers and men and women. Makes it hard to estimate how you are doing in your age-group. I recommend setting up waves by sex and age. This race is big enough to do that. I would like to see more solid food like sandwiches or BBQ at the end. They also ran out of cokes for the half-finishers. I also would like to see security in transition for peace of mind. There are no bike checkers, which would make it simple to have a bike stolen. This is my second year at High Cliff. Last year, I did the Sprint and this year was the HIM. Overall, this is a good race and course. Will do again.

  • Comments: I needed this half ironman in order to see where I stood in my training, but the overall event was not run as well as some of the other races I have done before. I was very disappointed to see the fact that so many of the water stations at the end had been abandoned and some out of water. The finish line was already almost torn down. There were certainly parts of this race that need a lot of work, but overall, it was good.

  • Comments: water stations were a little bunched up, but very much appreciated when I got to them. Great race for me, a 10 minute PR. Hope to build off of that for Door County and finally IMWI~

  • Overall course based on my ability: Too hard

  • Comments: Drinking stations on run were mostly abandoned on the second half of my run. Not much going on by the time I finished, but you can't really blame anyone, I took a long time.

  • Comments: Race run much better than last year! As mentioned, I had a lot riding on this race. Not just in regard to my future in tris, but also in my ability in general to implement a plan to overcome a challenge. Again, epic failure. Maybe it was stupid to give so much weight to a goofy bike ride, but I did. I am not meaning to diminish anyone you took this long or longer to complete this event. I completely respect everybody out there in less than ideal conditions. I also understand that I might have fallen a bit short on my goals with the steamy conditions. However to fall SO short of MY goals is a huge disappointment. One from which recovery will not come easy, if at all.
