  • Overall course based on my ability:

  • Comments: Lesson learned. Every now and then a person can pull a good race out of his/her arse with little or no training. The mistake is when you depend on pulling this off. I depended on it and "it" wasn't there. I had a bad race. I made multiple mistakes, and I learned a lot from them. As far as a first time race venue, Des Moines rocked the house. This was an awesome event and an amazing course (even with the hiccups). Course support was top notch. The crowds were huge. The finish line was very much like an Ironman finish, which bleachers and a tunnel of people. Very cool! Well done Hy-Vee! Well done.
