Subject: RE: Getting Stoked for Race Daydockarla - 2005-05-10 12:03 PM would love to hear of any favorite Half-IronMan's people like / enjoy that are going on the rest of the year. May look at VineMan and St. Croix for next year's Halfs. I may try an IronMan next year. Maybe Arizona and Florida. Yikes! I did the PrairieMan in Dallas last year (it was called "TexasMan" last year...) and I would recommend it as a race as long as you don't mind extreme heat. The bike course is interesting, with a few rolling hills, and the run course is 95% flat. The bad news is that the flat part is on the top of a dam, and there is no shade to be found, so if it's a hot, windless day this year like it was last, the temperatures on the dam can reach into triple figures. But the race organization is terrific, and the volunteers are plentiful, as are the fluids during and after the race! |
