  • Comments: Swim was well marked and monitored for safety. Bike course was well marked and monitored for safety. run was sometimes well marked and other times not...plenty of aid stations but I saw no porta potty on entire run course, although others said there was one at 2.5 and 10.5 mi mark. Not a very good selection of post race refreshments. No scale at med tent to check weight change.

  • Comments: My mind set going in to this race was really good and I was not going to give up no matter what happend unless they put me on a stretcher. It was very hot and there was about a 20% DNF on this course and after all I went threw on my last race I had something to prove to my self that I could make it no matter the conditions. I do not think that in my mind there was one part of me that thought that I was going to give up and stop. I pushed on and was as strong as my body let me be. I know that I could have done things a little different but we learn and we move on and try to improve on the next race. I can tell you that I am happy as can be that I did this race and finished my first HIM even though the very hot conditions that we had. So I say congrats to every one that did this race.

  • Comments: Meh. I'll be doing Redman next year instead. Course itself wasn't challenging but the heat was nasty and the route was just stupid. I don't mind loops but the random out and backs and random circles just to hit the distance were just silly. Then having no IVs was no bueno! I honestly felt this race was much harder then Buffalo Springs. Talked to Michael after the race and he's not a climber and he agreed, Buffalo Springs was easier. He and his wife both commented on the fact that despite it all I was still smiling on the run course. Not including relays, I got 12th woman overall. Not too shabby considering.
