Subject: Has anyone done Rhode Island 70.3??
Hello!

Just wondering if anyone has done the Rhode Island 70.3... AND wouldn't mind answering my million and twelve questions.  It's my first 1/2 and I'm nervous and have a ton of questions... so if anyone doesn't mind my annoying (read: probably stupid) questions, please let me know!

Thanks so much!
Lori

I did RI two years ago and will again this summer. Check out some past race reports they help a lot. Shoot me a pm for any questions.

I did it 2 years ago and it was fun. Still, they changed the course and moved the swim to a lake IIRC just as FYI

I did the race two years ago and it was my 1st half too. Ask away! And reading the race reports is a good suggestion. My RR is as much about the experience of racing a half for the first time as it is about the race itself.

I did it as my first half last year.  As was mentioned, the course seems to have been changed a bit.  The run was tough and had a killer hill you went up and down 4 times...that's what I remember most I think.

I did it in '08, my 1st half. The point-to-point setup/logistics were more challenging than the actual race course (except for that killer hill on the run). I think it's a great 1/2, especially if it's your first.

What questions do you have?

I started a similar thread on the Iron Distance forum.  You might want to check some of the posts over there as well...
