  • Comments: Despite my complaints, I tried to keep my attitude in check while running, thanking the volunteers, talking with the other runners; trying to be encouraging etc. I just let my bitch out when talking to my friends! It was a nice venting and then move on and keep moving forward! Chattanooga is a really great place for a race. Then town is wonderful, filled with nice, friendly, supportive people. The volunteers were all outstanding. I am 99.9% sure i will never do another IM, but if i did I think i'd do this one again.

  • Overall course based on my ability: Just right

  • Comments: Ironman Chattanooga is a great race! The race organizers had to deal with a lot of last minute changes this year due to weather/flooding, and while it was disappointing not being able to swim, I do feel that they ultimately made the right call in cancelling the swim. They still put on an amazing event for us, with a ton of support and lots of wonderful volunteers.

  • Overall course based on my ability: Too hard

  • Comments: Chattanooga is a great Ironman venue. In 2018, the swim got cancelled due to record rains and flooding, so it was a bike/transition/run event. The bike course is hilly and fun (4,800 feet of climbing) and the run has some wicked hills on the 2nd half of each loop. I enjoyed the community, the volunteers and the course - despite it being a little different than a normal year.
