  • Comments: This was a well run race with lots of volunteers. The only negative comments seem to be around the bike course. It had some sections of rough roads and lots of turns, but it was still a good ride through the country side. The run course was very good with only one section having some congestion because of two way running traffic on a normal width asphalt path.

  • Comments: This was a great race. Very well organized with lots of volunteers and a supportive crowd. Good course markings and a nice athlete venue made this a great race to participate in. If you are going to race this one, be ready for terrible roads and bring lots of spares -- some people had 3 flats on the course. Otherwise it was a really great event!

  • Comments: Overall it was a good race. First Ironman run event and it was run really good, Ulitimate goal was to be under 6 hours. ended up 9 minutes over. If I swam a little staighter, the bike was actually 56 and not 57.8 it would have been close. Its still the run that needsmuch improvement. Did better than me from my first 70.3 by 20 minutes (2013 musselman) so I am happy about that. Finish chute was nice, a lot of spectators, and gave you a bounce in your step for those last 100 yrds. Couple of complaints, Bike course was too rough for first 8 miles and last 8 miles. Water bottles being handed out on bike did fit in bike holder, bottles were too small. And way too many turn/intersections on the bike which made you slow down and have to speed back up.

  • Comments: Race itself was top notch, real organized, GREAT volunteers and well frankly 5 minutes from my house. I know a lot of people will complain about a few streets on the bike course and no doubt they were quite beat up but when you do these things in busy areas like this sometimes life and in this case road construction over the last few months gets in the way. Really hopeful that the race is re-upped again as I want to come back and shoot for 6:00.

  • Comments: It was a good race. If the roads on the bike course were paved, like I had heard they were supposed to be, it would've been really nice. Ironman races are pricey, but I think they do a good job. The volunteers were awesome!

  • Comments: Did a personal best time. Given the longer distance on the bike, it seems clear to me that I definitely met my goal of going under 6 hours for a true 70.3 event. Not one of the best run events but it was okay given that this was the inaugural race. I am expecting better things next year!
