  • Comments: All things considered, this was still a good race for me. First time finishing 1st in my AG for an Olympic distance race. The post race food still sucks. Glad they sell hot chocolate though. The race was very well run and the volunteers were great. I really do like this race venue, but dont like having to check-in the night before. It also seems to rain a lot this time of year.

  • Comments: Overall this is a nice race. I really like the course and the weather turned out great. But I am still disappointed that you need to check-in the night before. This basically means you need to stay over night somewhere near by which adds to the expenses. The swag was also disappointing and the t-shirt was weak. Last years was much nicer. The post-race food was also disappointing. Dry chicken and a pasta salad. It also took a few days for them to post the results and they were not correct the first time. If they are going to charge this much, they need to make improvements. I will most likely not do this race again because its too expensive for what you get. But I do like the course.

  • Comments: well organized and great people. Post race food wasn't all that impressive though. Not a lot of options aside from an average bbq

  • Overall course based on my ability: Too easy

  • Comments: Despite being REALLY bummed that the swim was canceled AND the bike had 10 miles lopped off, this was still a good experience for me. I'd never been in a bike race. The night before I was SO nervous I was a MESS. Hopefully even though the swim didn't happen, I've not gotten some of those out of control nerves out of the way. Overall I was happy with my performance. I'm a slow runner, I knew this going in... what I didn't anticipate was that my biking was faster than I thought. At the Goodale's Monday night rides I am the slowest one by far and I feel like a dork - so I thought sure bike would be my limiter. I do wish I could get better results from the website though - like my place in each event and overall place and such - I am very disappointed that I cannot get that.

  • Comments: I didn't fill this out after last years race... not sure why... but I've put data up now to compare to 2010. This was my first Olympic and it was so awesome I registered for a second go around! Endorfun always hosts a great event!

  • Comments: Extremely organized race with tons of volunteers. Really enjoyed the race and the amount of family activities that were planned. The only thing I disliked about the running course is that you finished by running across a sandy beach, which is very dangerous. I almost rolled my ankle while approaching the finish line. I felt bad for all of the 1/2 IM people b/c they had to run across the sand two times.

  • Comments: This was an awesome event! The shwagg was great - shirt, hat, tote bag, metal water bottle, towel, and metal! The festival was a blast - relaxing by the beach w/ homemade ice cream, margaritas, beer, and all kinds of good food. Everything was super well organized and the expo was very cool. The park is beautiful. All of the volunteers were wonderful and the results were posted online same day. You can't beat this one!

  • Comments: Overall, I was really happy with this performance. I wanted to finish in 3 hours, thinking it would actually be 3:05-3:10 so I was really happy to see 2:50. With a couple of changes, I think I'll be able to break 2:45 next year :)

  • Comments: 5 stars to Keith the RD, they put on a hell of a race. Best Schwag of any race I have done. Plenty of food for both participants and spectators. Wonderful park to have the event in. My kids were there for 8+ hours for 2 days in a row and they had a great time. The kids zone was very popular and plenty of activities for them to do. Very proud of my wife for finishing her first HIM on Sunday, not the easiest course in the world but she did it! My son won the 6 and under pie eating contest (he tied with another kid) and won a towel and some kind of light up bouncing ball. The kids race participants got a nice shirt and volunteers handed them a rubber race medal and a bottle of water when they crossed the finish line My only complaint was that 2 of the roads were pretty crappy to ride on but you have to deal with that kind of thing at a lot of races.

  • Comments: EndorFUN runs really great races, and this was no exception. Plenty of food, support, activities, etc. both days. Even though I got a flat, I was happy with my performance on the course, which was plenty challenging but not too hard.

  • Comments: As usual this was a top-notch race weekend. Great goody bag, great venue, great organization. I think my only complaint was the traffic situation on the last 1/2 mile or so of the bike course. Both lanes of traffic were open and there were cars parked on the opposite side so things were very tight. There was no room to pass and some people were willing to do dangerous things to gain that extra 10 seconds. It could mean the difference between being 30th and 31st in your age group. Very important...

  • Comments: Amazing race. Keith Jordan races are the best and his organization is top notch. At the awards ceremony he remembered I posted on BT I had my arm injured which tells me how much he cares about the races and participants and he posts here and other forums.

  • Comments: This was my second Mooseman, and I had just as much fun, if not more this time around. Raced on Saturday, volunteered on Sunday, one of my favorite races of the year, I'll keep coming back as long as it's around. Thanks Keith, the volunteers, and everyone at EndorFUN for putting together a great race. ***fair warning*** - I am already prepared to Bust a Mooove next year!
