  • Comments: It was my first half ironman and i had only done a triathlon (sprint) once 2 weeks before. i did my first half marathon 9 months ago and after that decided to be nuts and do the half ironman. started training this winter and was very motivated even tho i was crazy. Im going to take away all the criticism i just gave myself because i finished with a great time for my first time!! im proud of myself and so happy i impressed everyone. im also so amazed at how i got this all together in such a short amount of time. this has been an awesome experience and im so excited this is just the start to my triathlon career :)

  • Comments: Great race. I will be back. I really wanted to break 5:30 but I still did my best and kept pushing. I never let myself get caught up with other runners/riders so I am happy that I just had fun and ran my own race.

  • Comments: Course was nice, not a big fan of the uneven trails very very upsset with how I did, however trails not to blame. No reason that someone who can run a 1:30 half marathon and 7 per mile Olym should be running a 940 run in the half. No exactly sure what happend and feel like I did all this training for nothing. Will need to get over it, try and learn from it and use what I learned for the full next year.

  • Comments: Perfect weather and good course. My only complaint would be that some of the trails were uneven and hard to run on. Other than that I thought the course was setup well. I beat my time from last year by 40 minutes.

  • Comments: Great race, especially for the money. They let my wife announce my finish and she had my 21 month old son say dada into the microphone as I was about to finish, doesn't get much better than that.

  • Comments: I read all the comments and blogs about this race and I do disagree with the folks who say there weren't enough volunteers and aid stations. I was out there for a long time and there was prenty of people helping out. For my first experience in a half distance race this was first rate. From the reasonalbe cost to all the help and aid to a first rate site this was one of the highlights of my life! If you are in the midwest and can get to it this is a race for you.
