I’m glad I chose this as my 1st Ironman course as it was as flat as a course could get. The heat and humidity were the most challenging factors of the course. The Ironman race is put on by the company called Asdeport and honestly the expo could be a lot better, offering more quality items. It is very colorful merchandise that you probably won’t find at any other Ironman event. The finisher medal this year was terrible, if you hadn’t been to Cozumel before and visited the lighthouse from the medal and finisher shirt you probably have no idea what they are referencing, not really a medal I care to show off, I also had one that the engraving was smudged. I will say though that the age group awards were amazing and I’m glad I was able to take one of the home, a giant hand crafted M dot! Swim was fast, you could see all the way to the bottom, pretty sure it was also so fast because it was not the full distance, bike course is 3 hot loops of the island, a blessing to ride right next to the ocean, and the run was just miserable, I don’t think these courses should have more than 2 loops but the island is so small I dont think they have any other choice. Atleast the crowd and locals had great energy and I got to see my support squad 3 times!
