Ironman knows how to do a race. Well done! The medals and caps are beautiful. The shirts are average. The much lauded backpacks were less than expected. However, I’ll still carry mine proudly.

The wind on the bike was rough and it was frustrating to see large packs of riders blantantly ignoring drafting rules. I heard, thought I can’t confirm, the reason for less officiating on the bike course was because riders were not staying in the middle lane. This is something that could have been covered in athlete briefing. It does feel strange to be told to ride in the middle lane. If this was ge plan, athlete briefing could have emphasized this more, rather than, be sure to ride to the right. Still, not a big deal, the wind was hard for most but the course was enjoyable and if I do the race again, I’d gladly ride the bike course again.

My only complaint about the whole event was the early closure of run special needs. There is a run cutoff, but special needs closes before it. So, I had to either access my items earlier than I needed or risk losing them. I have no problems with the special needs closing at a specific time, but to have the run cutoff almost an hour after special needs closes seems to be out of sync with each other.

It was a great event and a race I’m still beaming about. Although during the final lap of the run I assured my husband that “we’re never doing this again”. I’ll be back, probably in 2019.

This was a great race. Spectator support was unparalleled. Live singers!! It was a tad overwhelming at the end of the race because the finish wasn’t near where the finishers were funneled to. That was disorienting. Everything else was top notch. I’ll be back.

The race was well run. The expo and swag are top notch. The course is as tough as advertised, but well supported. Look forward to doing it again! MORE
