  • Comments: This was by far the most difficult event I have yet experience in my new-found sport. This took more combined physical and mental effort than even my spring marathon in which heatstroke almost DNF'ed me. I now have a profound respect for iron-distance racing and will not approach a full iron without due care. However, I do now know there will be a full iron somewhere in my future. But for now, I will just enjoy the victory of this race... and try to believe the reality that I ended my 1st year of triathon with a successful 1/2 iron. I have so much to be thankful for. After my shower, we returned to the race and volunteered for 2hrs at an aid-station for the full iron participants who were still on the course. I had no trouble walking out to meet them to find out what they needed as they struggled toward the aid-station and then giving them the my most heart-felt encouragement as they raced on to their finish line.

  • Comments: There were a couple of areas on the run with a lot of pylons but no volunteers, so a few extra people in those areas to (correctly) direct traffic might have helped. The volunteers at the aid stations were wonderful. Nutrition strategies worked out -- stomach and energy felt great the whole time.
