  • Comments: Race organizers run their age groups according to day-of age. Then they report a revised version to USAT with USAT age. Its messed up. However, for this race, I was 9th in my age-group whether it be 35-39 or 40-44. Great race for a half-iron first-timer.

  • Comments: Disappointed I could not finish the run the way I wanted to. I definitely had a shot at 3rd but 1st and 2nd in AG were both at 4:44. Very happy with my bike. I had an OK time but not what I was hoping for. I felt with work on bike I could break 5:00 again this year. Shit happens. Barb had a tough swim but great bike and not so good run. Scott was happy with his times. We went out for burgers and beer with Joe Ryan post race and had a good time.

  • Comments: Only complaints were that the racks in transition are too tight and the aid stations on the bike. Was advertised as having stations at mile 29 and something like 45, but the first was at mile 20 - not even sure when the second one came along. Problem is trying to determine when/how much to drink based on the course and what I carry. I just like having an accurate plan for nutrition!

  • Comments: This was my first-ever 70.3 (WOOT!), and I'm thrilled with how well it went for me, despite the crash :) The race is an extremely well-run race event, start to finish. Organiztion & communication was excellent. The volunteers were plentiful & very helpful. Would highly recommend this race to others.

  • Comments: I have my issues with this race - namely they can't seem to get the swim and run distances right. Last year the swim was short, this year I think it was real close. However the run is still short. It would be nice if they could find the .4 miles somewhere... But, I thought the run course volunteers were outstanding. The aid stations had tons of water, gatorade, and ice. Plus lots of residents out there with garden hoses which really helped! I even had one volunteer offer to go to her car to get me a coke! I declined but I appreciated the offer.
