  • Organised?Yes
  • Events on time?Yes

  • Lots of volunteers to help?Yes
  • Plenty of drink stations?Yes

  • Post race activities? Average
  • Overall course based on my ability: Too hard

  • Comments: I like this race, despite the tough course. A lot of people had times 25-30 minutes slower this year than last year, so being 15 minutes slower isn't too terrible. Finished second overall to a strong girl (she's headed to Kona) so not too worried about it.

  • Comments: The race did not start on time, but that was due to extremely heavy fog on the lake. The course was beautiful but fairly challenging. I stuck around to the overall winner of the triathlon finish. He commented that it was the toughest course he had ever race. He beat the 2nd place guy by over 20 minutes!

  • Comments: Thank you to Todd & Cynthia Heady! They did a great job despite of the slight race delay due to the fog. All the volunteers were GREAT! Thank you to Dale, Stacy and Amy at The Training Studio. This was my first HIM where I didn't go the hospital... I feel like I let you down by not resting this week which I know hindered my performance. I wanted to put up a top 5 finish on the studio wall, but overall I was pleased with my performance. If I'd not bonked on the run, I'd have been somewhere in the 4:55 range. Thank you to Nancy and Marcus! Nancy.. you have taught me so much in my swim the past year and a half. NEVER in a million years would I have thought I'd be coming out of a HIM swim in the top 10!!! Just blows my mind. Thank you for running with me on the course and trying to help me get back my mental focus. Thank you to Marcus for taking care of me after the race! I appreciate you all!

  • Comments: The race is small, in its second year, so it'll get better as time passes. They need to make the swim truly rectangular to limit people swimming toward each other. It would be nice if the fisherman leaving the boat ramps would go the speed-limit (25) instead of 55. It's a good race and I will be doing it next time, just faster.
