  • Comments: The Izena 88 is a really well-done race. It is really well-supported by the local community, and they are very hospitable. I highly recommend it for anyone who can make it! Everything is done in Japanese, but some local athletes (American, mostly military-related) do a great job of having everything translated and keeping the foreigners well-informed as to what is going on.

  • Overall course based on my ability: Too hard

  • Comments: I rated the race as "Too Hard" for me only because I probably underestimated the difficulty of it. It is a great race and I hope to do it in the future. Izena is a beautiful island, the local people go all out to make the event memorable, and the length (almost half-Ironman) make it a great race for people of all levels.
