  • Comments: Logistically, you have to plan ahead of time for parking, setting up T1, waiting before your wave, etc. But Overall, great race and I will be doing it again next year to get my revenge on the run course.

  • Comments: CAPRI hit a home run with this one yet again! What a great race. To bring up my quote from last year: "It was the most painful, gawdawful experience in my life, I can't wait to do it again!"

  • Comments: There were 2 aspects of this race I'llcomment on. First, the race itself was great. The weather ended up being great, if not a bit hot/muggy for the run, at least it was good for the spectators. And the fact that I shaved an hour and 10 minutes off of last year's time, I'd say that that makes it a success. Now, regarding the other stuff. The coordination of the race I thought was bad. I believe that they had good intentions, but the changes they made from last year were a complete bust. The Expo setup with the different tables was horrible. It took forever to get through the line. Last year it was all at one table and seemed to go so much smoother - I don't think I waited more than 10 minutes. This year they also ran out of large socks, so I got ripped on that, but I decided to grab a small pair for Sue, so at least she got something out of it. Waiting till the finish to hand out the shirts was also horrible. After finishing I had to stand there in line for a good 15 minutes.

  • Comments: I find the larger races a little crazy to be honest. I don't like the scene at kit pick up with everyone all "twitchy" and then at the event itself where some are snapping, snarling and generally just really intense. I'm sure these people exist at smaller events - but there are simply fewer of them. This is my personal viewpoint and I'm comfortable knowing that I like smaller events. This being said - I met some phenomenal people this year. Other than the initial mess at kit pick up (had to fill out a form which backed up the registration process) this race impresses me. It's well organized, the volunteers are wonderful and it's definitely worth doing. Nice t-shirts this year!!

  • Comments: Awesome race put on by Ironman at a stellar venue. Plenty of volunteers and support. Many locals lined up on the streets to cheer us on. That really made me thankful for having the opportunity to race.

  • Comments: I'm thrilled with my 23 minute improvement over the Muncie Endurathon in 2008. Each portion of the race was a significant improvement. I really challenged myself physically and mentally. The nutrition plan seemed to work until the last 5K of the run. I need to look at an alternative to Gatorade for IMWI.
