Great Job! 1/2 Ironman is awsome! 90 degree heat had to killer for going that distance. I hope they clean up some of the organization issues you mentioned.

Do you know when they plan on setting the date for next year's race? I see thay have held off on it for some reason.

Again, nicely done!

Do not know of the details for next year, but I also heard they have not published a date as of yet. Hopefully they are evaluating the feedback from the participants.

Awesome times.  My hubby was in it too, so I was there watching.  Brutal day.  That transition area was nasty.  I don't know how you guys did it!  Congrats.

Great job. I was there too. My legs cramped at mile 4. Very frustrating when I still had a lot of energy. The bottom line is we finished!!
