Subject: RE: Ironman 70.3 Florida : Official ThreadDid the race last year. Many say the run was really bad because it was on grass and sand/dirt.
I would encourage you that if they are not going to change the course that you try to run on grass and dirt as much as possible. I run every day on sand and grass so it was not a shock to me.
To help you understand there is not a trail, sometimes I see people say the trail was too narrow and was hard to pass. It was approximately 20 feet wide with people running in each direction. It gets dusty, hot, very humid, BUT we all had the same conditions. BTW The grass was not very high IMO
So if you train on the same sort of terrain it wont bother you too much.
Good luck and hope to meet some others out there ![](https://beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/images/emoticons/smile.gif) |
