• Comments: i'm not sure if i'll ever do an Ironman again. the logistics just don't appeal to me. i always forget something. but i have to say - as far as 1/2 and full IM races go - the Grand Columbian takes the cake. everybody goes out of their way to make you feel special. the whole town. the clerks at safeway ask you about the race if you buy stuff that the locals wouldn't, the race bibs have your name on it. they even go to the pain of researching your race history and announcing it when you go through the finish chute. they even return your special needs bags to you! i can't imagine a better race environment. if you read this and are not set on an IMNA event - please DO consider the GC. you'll be part of a family there. now please excuse me. i need to take a nap.
