  • Comments: It was a scary hot day and there was not a first aid station (just a tent with two cots). A lot of people could have used IVs and at one point they had to wait for a medical team to arrive as someone needed medical attention after the race. I know they could not have expected that level of heat but they should have brought in medical personal as day got warmer. It could have been dangerous.

  • Comments: This course is just brutal. The hills on the bike aren't too steep or long, I could just never get into a rhythm because of the hills. The run course is the worst, being so hilly the first 6 miles and so boring and dull the last 7. There are a TON of volunteers out and plenty of water stations. Organization was great, good amenities and nice tech Tshirt. This is my second year to do this race, and while I've enjoyed it both years, if I do another 1/2 IM will probably find another one.

  • Comments: I can't believe I'm about to type this, but major kudos to Race Day Events. I've done 5 of their races this year, mostly because they're convenient, and every one has had problems with organization, timely awards, accurately marked courses, etc. Atomic Man was the exception. They did a great job and I really appreciate it given the difficulty of the course and the day.
