• Comments: A much better job this year than last! Race went off on time, and the course was well-marked. Not a huge fan of the desert run, but it's part of racing at Lake Las Vegas. Still love the host hotel. Gorgeous swim. Nice job improving the post-race buffet and awards ceremony. Would have loved to have had a bigger Expo and maybe a race t-shirt with the actual race and not just the generic Iron Girl logo, but that's just being nit-picky.

• Comments: I thought everything was very well organized, I didn't have any problems and would like to congratulate the organizers on a job well done. I really thought it was a great all round experience. being an all womens event it definitely had a different vibe then that of a normal tri, I think. It was a great way to break into triathlons and I look forward to doing many more in the up coming months and years. The course was tough, but given the terrain around the venue, I think any route they chose would have been very difficult, it's a mountainous area and you can't change the topography of the site. :)

• Comments: They really need to provide more info about the course - very scant info and little in terms of individual reports from the one prior year. Info from organizers glossed over challenges of course. I would have been a great course if I would have known what to anticipate and had trained to meet that expectation.
