  • Overall course based on my ability: Just right

  • Comments: This was a disappointing Ironman on some accounts. The pre-race dinner was so poorly run it was unacceptable. It lacked some of the same excitement and feel of a normal Ironman and the post race food and area was terrible as well. That being said, there are other parts that were great. The location was amazing and being able to vacation afterwards is great. The volunteers and locals could NOT have been more supportive. Athletes were treated like celebrities all week. With a few tweaks this could be a great race, but I can't say it was one of my favorites.

  • Comments: This was our first international IM and there were good and bad differences. It was amazing to be out there with our group and what could be better than finishing an IM and spending another few days at an all inclusive resort. Hard to top the post-race recovery.

  • Comments: This was my first Ironman and I loved every minute of the race. I even enjoyed the pain that came during and after it. The city of Cozumel was wonderful. The crowd and support we got during the race was great. My family and girlfriend were there to cheer me on too, which was really nice. I enjoyed seeing them and hearing them cheer each lap on the bike and run. I am not going to do a full IM next year, as I want to enjoy some time with my family and girlfriend, but in two years I will definitely do another one. I don't think I'll do this race again because there are so many out there and I want to see more places and different races, but I would absolutely recommend it for anyone who wants a different Ironman to enjoy. If money and time weren't an object and I could do as many races as I wanted, I'd go back for sure. Many thanks to the people of Cozumel, the volunteers, race organizers, and competitors for making my first Ironman experience so great. Running the last 500 meters with the
