Comments: Challenge threw down a successful, high class inagural event. What stood out for me the most was refreshing, grass roots kind of vibe. I chatted with a lot of racers before, during and after the event, and everyone had a pleasant non-competitive attitude. At many Ironman races I've encountered the 'win and beat everyone at all costs" "Type-A" tri-snob attitudes. I did not experience any of this at Challenge. The whole experience was welcoming and refreshing.
