  • Comments: Outstanding support, over 3000 volunteers for the race. Great event and I would recommend it to anyone. I am still getting used to the idea that the race is actually over. I'm happy with my performance. This was my first IM I wanted to survive the day and post a good time for myself.

  • Comments: I was literally smiling the entire day! I was so happy to be there and be healthy and just soo happy about the weather. It was an amazing experience and I'm so excited to be registered again for 2011. In 2011 my husband will be joining me out on the course as well. Now that I know the training I did was enough I'll be going into the training with a lot more confidence!

  • Comments: The race was very well organized. I can't say enough how much I appreciate the volunteer and spectators at this event. They were completely awesome and believe it or not made the race fun. I had a very good experience and while I'm not sure if I'll do another Ironman if I do catch the bug again I wouldn't hesitate to do IMWI again. I'm going to volunteer next year.

  • Comments: I thought the entire event was first class. Volunteers and crowd support were just fantastic and it was everything I hoped it would be. While I'm not doing this next year, I do plan on volunteering next year and taking another swing at it in 2012! I have a score to settle with that run course...

  • Comments: My first IM experience was nothing short of phenomenal. The fans were great, the course was fun, my family rocks, my friends rock, and every single one of the 3000 volunteers were most appreciated. All of that combined to make one fantastic experience that I will never forget and cannot wait to repeat next year!

  • Comments: I learned a really hard lesson with this race....always always always trained regularly with the fluids served on the course. ugh this was one hard learned lesson. There is a reason IRONMAN is called the worlds hardest single day endurance event. I love challenging myself ..... but I still don't know what my limits are, I was close with this one but suprised myself once again.

  • Comments: This race report wouldn't be complete if I didn't thank all those people who got me ready for the day: 1. Paul,my husband who gave up long weekeneds at our house in Minocqua to allow me to train on the course, had to listen to all things IM all the time and never complained and cheered so hard for me on the course all day long. 2. Steve Janowiak, my coach. He not only taught me how to swim, he developed a plan over the course of the year to make me feel ready to tackle my first IM with confidence. He has been my mentor and constant supporter, even when I questioned myself. He put me in more challenging situations, some which I totally hated, and each allowed me to evolve towards the goal. I would not have been able to do IM '10 without him and I am totally psyched to have him in my corner to train for '11. It's going to be a great year. 3.Jessica Laufenberg, my local OWS coach who helped me with technique and constantly told me I was ready to kick butt in IM WI. Awesome. 4 My

  • Comments: Don't knock the Ironman brand races. They are first class all the way. How many of us can be treated like a rock star for a day! I have zero complaints or issues with the race. And the Madison residents are awesome! Thanks Madison!

  • Comments: Excellent mental focus helped carry through blips in each segment. Well prepared for pitfalls with supplies and mantras. After months of stressing about outfit, nutrition, and gadgets, I decided to keep it simple, be flexible, and be happy. My key mantras: " stay in the box" and "be like water". Basically focus on what Ican control in THIS moment; it will set me up for the rest of the race. Whatever challenges occur, just deal with it and keep going.

  • Comments: For my first Ironman I am very pleased with the experience and my performance. I know I am not an elite athlete so I did not have elit expectations. I very pleased yet still motivated to do better. Probably the best way to feel. Not sure when, but I will do this race again.

  • Comments: So that’s it. That’s the story of how I became an Ironman. It only took 14 hours, 39 minutes, and 32 seconds. Yep, only 14+ hours….and 93+ hours of swimming training, 198+ hour of biking training, and 109+ hours of running training. Geez, when I put it like that…it doesn’t seem like that much! It seemed like it was thousands of hours! It’s documented forever, cemented in the race records of the WTC and of Ironman Wisconsin . My name is Kelly, and I’m an Ironman.
