  • Overall course based on my ability: Just right

  • Comments: My first HIM and I finished so it's all good. I have done many other races run by this organized (Event Power) and I think they do a great job. My only suggestion is some food (cookies, bananas, etc.) on the course. During the second lap I was starving!

  • Comments: Overall this race was very well managed and directed. The volunteers were organized helpful and friendly. It's a small little town but they really come together for this event. Road support was solid, couldn't believe all the locals out helping bikers on the route. Aid stations were great stocked with water, heed, coke and gels and the course is simply beautiful. I hope eventually they do a full IM here -if they did I would definetly go back! I had a ball!

  • Overall course based on my ability:

  • Comments: I was very happy with the location, the way the race was run, and the number of volunteers for such a large course. I can't forget a very special thank you to my three ladies, Kim, Reilly, and Kelsey, who stood out in the downpour to cheer me on. I will do it again next year. I pushed myself a little too far for my first season, but I'm glad I did. Twelve months (hell, six months ago) I'd have called you crazy if you said I'd be writing this report. With adequate training volume over the next year, I don't think a 5:45 is out of my reach for 2009. Time to get some miles in these legs...

  • Comments: I was a little skeptical about the race when I saw the bike course and heard that all of it was open to traffice. I'm happy to say that I was pleasantly surprised and would most certainly go back next year. They could use some more bottle exchanges on the bike, especially if it were a warm day. Maybe it's just me being spoiled by others races or not wanting to carry so many bottles on my bike.

  • Overall course based on my ability:

  • Comments: This race was well marked, well run, the scenery is Unbelievable, volunteers and aid stations were a plenty ... but the difference between this race and an M-Dot race are glaring. There was only water, coke, heed and hammer gels at the aid stations: No gatorade, no food!! No bananas, powerbars, oranges, etc... For $235.00 I would've liked and could've used some solid foods at the last few aid stations. Granted there was all of these things at the finish line. Despite that, this an overall very well run event in a magical location.
