  • Comments: This was my third time doing Iron Girl. In the past - my favorite part has been all the fans and volunteers - there were a lot less than in previous years and everyone out there was quiet - it was weird. Also, I heard about those ladies that were turned away. We did all get the email (I assume) that told about all that stuff, but I would expect there would be SOMETHING in our race packets about when to get there at the very least - there was nothing. I feel bad for them. I do wonder how it went from over 1200 racers signed up to only 862 finishing?! What happened? Overall - fun and a great way to start multisport racing... but worse than previous years.

  • Overall course based on my ability: Just right

  • Comments: It's a good race if you like this kind of race - all women, mostly beginners - that sort of thing. Close to hotels and nice venue. It was well organized. I particularly like the freebie bike maintenance support. It wasn't as crowded as I'd feared, though it was somewhat crowded. I'd probably do it again.
