  • Comments: Overall, this was a good Ironman 70.3 race. The Lake Michigan swim was intimidating, but fun. The roads on the bike course were rough, but as expected for the Midwest. The course was not as interesting as I had hoped. The run course was fine with a couple of large hills. They could have done a bit more. It seems that this was a bit "Ironman Lite" with no wetsuit strippers and fewer run aid stations than typical. It was good to do a race in my home state.

  • Comments: Two times raced, two times top 5. Not too bad! Only IM brand race I've ever gotten an award at. :D Always so fun to race with Team EN (it was a focus race and I got to see Brenda, Carol and Turby, Rob,meet Cheryl,Bill, Scott and Julian) Great to race with so many local tri friends and family-The Penlands, Cath, Terese, Yvette and Mike, Bill O, Roman. Having Mariah and Johnny on course was awesome. Johnny was my sherpa and it was wonderful to have him there! His girl Sara is really nice too. She saved me with a Ponytail holder. It's my magic pony tail holder now lol. Bonus---saw my buddy Alec Penland (Curt and Poranees son-I just love this kid!) and got a nice post race hug! He's a WMU guy and we just get along great. So good to see him! As usual, the people I share the day with really make the race for me.
