  • Comments: Overall 4:58:11 (T1 = 1:59, T2 = 1:21). SUB 5:00! 7th in AG out of 111. That was my whole goal coming into this season, and I'm so happy I was able to do it. Conditions were ideal, and the race just came together nicely. Now to work on that swim...

  • Comments: I guess I was expecting it to be ‘more’ being an Ironman 70.3 race, but it was great on its own. Bad: If you are from Florida it is COLD & HILLY. Good: Everything else. Great support. Great volunteers. Great scenery.

  • Comments: Well organized race, which you would expect from an Ironman event. Why else would they charge an arm and a leg? PLENTY of water stations on the course with Gatoraide and PowerBar Gel. Unless you really need your own stuff, no need for a fuel belt. Loved the pizza and cookies after the race.

  • Comments: pizza at the finish line = win soft sugar cookies at finish line = win me having to grab my own water cup at mile 11 = lose

  • Comments: The swim started 10 minutes late. I think it was due to the fog. It seemed like this caused them to push the waves closer together which didn't help slower swimmers like me at all. My wife was volunteering and she noted that they were short volunteers everywhere. Some just left when they wanted to. All in all though, I thought the event was done pretty well. I would do it again.

  • Comments: My only issue with the course was that for both the run and the bike the miles aren't posted for the second loops. All the signs are out up to mile 25 (bike) and 6 (run), but nothing after that. Its a minor detail but it did annoy me.
