  • Overall course based on my ability:

  • Comments: Other than the buoys being put out late there's not much to say bad. The only other pet peeve is the requirement to dig out your race number to get your chip. They already put a bracelet on you the day before with your number on it but apparently Homeland Security must be involved in keeping the cheaters out. I would definitely recommend this race. Congrats to Bass Pro as the new sponsor. They're great!

  • Comments: I'm torn. Gamultisports does really good races, but this location on this date is just a little too hot for my likeing, and maybe even my ability. Heat takes me out of the game faster than anything else. Move it to the end of september or even october. I might do it again, but not sure. I highly recommend it though. It's a tough course and will really tell you where you are as an athlete. Overall, this is a good race, maybe one that lives in my head a little too much though.

  • Comments: There was a start delay of about fifteen minutes because the swim course wasn't set up. That surprised me, because the event was really well run other than that. Also, for a geek like me, it was a shame they weren't selling any logo gear (no new HIM hat for me). They did have Henry Forrest there selling T-shirts. He came in 7th in the (first ever) 1978 Ironman. He had an original 78 t-shirt there with him, too. It was screen printed on the back of an old marine corps t-shirt of his. Everyone had to bring their own shirts to be printed. He was really, really nice, and we had a nice long chat about the spirit of the ironman. He even let me fondle the first ever ironman trophy (John made his first because he had to leave a few days after the race). It really put me in the mood of appreciating the opportunity to move my body, and participate in these fun events. This is not an easy race, and it is open to traffic. If neither of those scare you off, and you like a smaller event (450),
