  • Comments: As disappointed as I was at not hitting that sub-6 mark (or making it anywhere near it), this was an amazing race. Not only was it well coordinated, but the camaraderie of all the triathletes there was unsurpassed. In fact, I may just have to come back up next year, even if the trek will be a little bit longer!

  • Comments: This is a great race and much more interesting then the Eagleman course. It is a tough course but very enjoyable and a lot of fun. The pre race and post race events look to be family friendly and also a lot of fun for a long weekend. able to see lots of friends on the course: May, Max, Rob, Jorge, Nate and some other who I don't know their names. also great to race a race with a great pro/elite lineup.

  • Comments: This was an amazing race. Keith puts on good event, not just a race. The festival at Gunstock was good. I especially enjoyed the pro race forum where we all got to ask pros such as Desire, Simon Lessing, Michael Lovato, and Kate Major questions. The lake was really clear and a pleasure to swim in. The bike course was challenging but not severely so, and the run course was probably the best supported of any race I've done. But perhaps, the best thing about the race is the area itself. This lakes region of NH is simply amazing and my wife and I had a great time exploring it. At about 5pm back at our condo, we ran into another racer who was just coming back from the Clearwater/World Championship 70.3 slot allocation and he was excited b/c he got a slot. I asked him what his time was and he said 5:35 and he was M30-34! That means, I would have GOTTEN A SLOT had a stayed for the roll-down! Now, I don't know if I would've accepted it anyway as I've already done 2 destination

  • Comments: Can't say enough about this event. It was by far the best event i have ever been to. There were plenty of volunteers and plenty of post race activities to enjoy. If all of Keith Jordans' events are this awesome I'm sure I'll be signing up for some of the other races he runs.

  • Comments: This was a great race. The course was awesome, the lake was beautiful, and the volunteers were just the greatest. I would just suggest they get more port-o-pots for down by the TA. I’ve done smaller races with just as many pots. A 25-min wait was a little crazy and stressful. But, otherwise, everything was good. Oh, and that traffic jam sucked at the beginning…no one really knows what happened there. Apparently it was a first. Oh well.

  • Comments: I agree with others RR's that Keith does a great job with these events. I did Mooseman in June as well and both were well organized and plenty of help and volunteers along the way. Both were great ways to enter into the HIM arena!

  • Comments: Keith's races are the best. I got to toss some of my best one liners to Desiree Ficker during the rolldown. I made her laugh, even in front of her BF. I did hold back the "Hey, Desiree, I have a picture of you as the background on my computer at work, do you want to see?" line as I thought she might find that a little creepy. Also, I picked up a Clearwater spot which was my ultimate goal as my wife parent and my folks both live in that area and it would be a great opportunity to have them experience an event with me.

  • Comments: Timberman is a great race. Things did get off to a late start today, but other than that things went very well. They seem to have thousands of volunteers, and you lack for nothing on this course. Even though I didn't beat my goal, I feel like this was a really good effort and probably my best half IM yet. The time was slower than this year's Mooseman, but given the swim time discrepancies I really wonder if this wasn't longer. I felt like I raced well and kept well focused today. I'm happy with my placings as well - top 15% overall, top 20% in my AG, and top 10% for the run. Plus I finished 50 minutes faster than when I did Timberman in 2005. I also apparently could have had a slot to the 70.3 Championship based on my time today (I had already decided against doing this anyway).
