  • Comments: While I'm still disappointed overall with the decision to shorten the course (especially since the actual temps were about 5-7 degrees lower than forecast and the fact that Eagleman has NEVER been shortened due to heat), I still had a pretty good race despite the swim. I believe I adjusted well to the course change and was patient on the bike while others hammered and I virtually passed them later. I would bet that several of those in my AG hammered on the bike only to lose steam on the run and possibly succumb to the heat. The heat was not really a factor for me since I had raced in previous seasons, knew what to expect, how to counter it, had super support on the course, and had adequate training for it prior to the race (unlike Eagleman in early June where often one does not have any acclimation time). Would I recommend Muncie 70.3 to folks? Prior to the shortened course decision and what WTC did later to "compensate" folks, I would have said a resounding "Yes"! This is a pretty

  • Comments: Overall for the heat 100+ I was fine the entire race with the exception of the swim. On the bike and run I felt good with no distress at all. I was just hot, very very hot. I think the volunteers were great and the organization was top notch for the last minute changes that took place in the distances.

  • Comments: I wasn't able to eat anything until about 5pm that night. My stomach was still very much upset with me. In hind sight, I think I should have drank more on the course or took the time and drank a whole bottle of something in the transition area before the run.

  • Comments: IM Muncie 70.3 was actually 37.2, but they made the right call. Had plenty of aid stations that were fully stocked and full of helpful cheerful volunteers. Had as much, if not more, ice than I could use.

  • Comments: It was very disappointing to have them cut the distance to an oly, however I don't believe the decision was made lightly and ultimately it was about the athelete's safety. I would definitely come back next year and give it a shot at the full distance.
