 Swim
Comments: never try to take your WS off in the water! Da It was wild being in such a big body of water, so far from shore! What would you do differently?: Take WS off in Transition area like I normally do!  Transition 1
Comments: Saw a 1st, naked buns in the transition area, unfortunatly they where male buns.  Bike
Comments: Had dislex-a-turn, turned left for the sprint @ "Fargo Springs Road" vs. right for the HIM. Must of been the 4.5 hours of sleep! Only wasted 1.1 miles or about 3 minutes, could have been much worse! Saw several TRI lady's (out of the corner of my eye, not looking!) do open field pee's, this was a 1st! What would you do differently?: Ask @ the turn! :-) Transition 2
Comments: Excellent support, full bottled water and Gatoraide @ 3 locations, the volunteers even ran to make the grab easier! Saw alot of GURU and Griffith tri bikes? Never heard of them, maybe the company reps dumped a bunch of demo's to get exposure? What would you do differently?: Great bike except for missed turn!  Run
Comments: 1st hill is a tough one, many walkers, my HR wnet through the roof! Trail running without prep stinks! I was forced to keep my HR below my normal race HR of 165 due to the heat and I fought cramps in my hamstrings from mile 6 on. What would you do differently?: Be better prepared, need to work on running in the heat, and read the coarse desciptions better! Post race
Warm down: Kissed Susan! What limited your ability to perform faster: 84*F temp with 60% RH Event comments: Great race would do it again. My only complaints: The transition area was tight, to many people where assigned to each rack, making it very difficult to set up gear. The food @ post race would have been great after a cross country ski race, but it wasn't, it was hot, and the post race food was hot pulled pork, baked potatoes, and hot mixed vegitables. I tried some later and it was good, but all I wanted was cold water melon, cantalope, and a grape icy. Race link (you can see my Bike mistake on the map, run the Map Player its the 1st T in the coarse going south, didn't use multisport mode): http://trail.motionbased.com/trail/invitation/email/accept.mb?sende...

Elite 3067  Cheesehead, WI | Subject: RE: High Cliff Triathlon - Half Ironman Wow! All the way from KS! I would have liked to have caught an eyefull of bare male booty And dang, would have felt more comfortable had I tried that woods pee thing Nice race! And I hear ya on the food. Nothing looked particularly tasty and fruit would have been ideal for a post race tummy. |

Master 1732 Delafield, Wisconsin | Subject: RE: High Cliff Triathlon - Half Ironman Great race with lots of adventure! I saw a couple of people taking off their wetsuits in the water and thought about doing it for about a second. I guess I'm, glad I didn't. Most people were not excited about the food. Of course when I got there the only thing left was bread. By the way, I think Desiree Fricker rode a Guru to second place at Kona last year. |

Extreme Veteran 388 Overland Park, Kansas | Subject: RE: High Cliff Triathlon - Half Ironman I have 57 miles, because I turned left @ the sprint turn, took a 1/2 mile to (dah) figure it out! |

Extreme Veteran 388 Overland Park, Kansas | Subject: RE: High Cliff Triathlon - Half Ironman Dah, I just realized people commented on races! Yep, from Kansas, my inlaws live in GB.. You can have the flash on your next TRI. I did a Long TRI yesterday, they had cold beer @ the finish! I thought that was just a GB Marathon thing! Great race for you also! |
