  • Lots of volunteers to help?Yes
  • Plenty of drink stations?Yes

  • Post race activities? Good
  • Overall course based on my ability: Just right

  • Comments: I have said it in a pervious post I applaud anyone that can train in the heat and humidity. San Diego has made me spoiled and I can't imagine living and training anywhere else. If I had to do it all over again I would try and get to Texas a little earlier to get used to the time change. As for the getting used to the heat I would have to travel about an hour out of San Diego to get some training in with the heat.

  • Comments: This was a well organized race. Lots of volunteers. Great course. I would have liked for there to be another water stop on the run. The first was not until 1.5 miles in. This was the second year I did IronGirl but will definatly do it again next year.

  • Comments: Of course I'll do it again next year!!! Oh and it was great meeting iwanttotri & her sister. BTW I did this as a relay last year time(1:58:10) - I beat my team's time by almost four (4) minutes. Besides me being proud of my own swim ( I didn't stop no matter how many times I was bumped, hit, etc.), if that ain't progress then I dunno what you'd consider it - lol

  • Comments: Well organized, started on time. I liked the specific bike racking. You don't have to arrive as early, and everyone has enough room. All the courses were well-marked and thought out. People seemed to be having a good time, and there were some roving spectators cheering us on. I found it intersting there was a water hand-up on the bike. It was so short that it didn't seem worth the stop to me, but some may have found it wonderful. It was nice they offered it. One of the most enjoyable I have done all year. I also like the finisher's medals and technical T's. They had ample food for the athletes, but it wasn't well placed. We didn't find it at first, but they had bagels, bananas, lots of drink varieties, and cinnamon rolls. The awards were moved up and moved outside this year. That was nice. And it was great to see Teri win our age group!!

  • Comments: For a race this big, I expected a bigger expo and a bigger post race spread. I think lots of people had trouble finding the food because it was back behind the transition area. The beer was a nice touch although I'm not a beer drinker. Donuts, pizza or pancakes would have made me happier :) However, the volunteers were great, the numbered bike racks were great, and in general the race was run very well. They even did awards earlier than scheduled to help us all get home.
