  • Comments: This is an awesome race and Ironman Mexico did a great job putting on the Inaugural event. This is easily the most difficult Ironman Course I've raced, but also enjoyed the most (only second to my PR in Western Australia). Despite the toughness of the course this is definitely a race I would do again.

  • Overall course based on my ability: Just right

  • Comments: I think it being the inaugural race, it didn't have the following that other, more established races have. It was fun though. I like warm, and it was all of that. The water temp was good, the outside temp was good, and there were lots of spectators cheering people on (which is good). I don't think I'd do this one again, but for my first one, it was great. I heard there were a lot of people that dropped out, that's what I heard. I think they might have dropped out during the bike, that was kind of hard. Everything else ...is what it is.

  • Overall course based on my ability: Too hard

  • Comments: This race is ok if you live in a city where you can train outdoors year round. Being that I left snow and -26 C (-15 F) and landed in 36 C (96 F) and raced ironman 36 hours later I wasn't exactly acclimated. For me, it was just too tough of a course to perform with any gusto but I was not alone. I finished in !5:48 and was still 810/1336. Apparently 400+ dropped out due to tough swim and bike conditions.
