I did this race with, and on the recommendation of, some friends ... it was not on my original plan but figured it would not hurt and would be fun. I was right!!! This was the 2nd year they did this race, and the idea is to bring the level of support and meaningfulness of an IRONMAN to a small race.
And folks, I kid you not, they pulled it off. For such a young race it was extremely organized and very well laid out. The course was just challenging enough, and there was support everywhere you might need it. The coolest thing they did was set up bleachers along the "shoot" and held up an IM like finish line for EACH athlete to break thru!! Another nice touch was that every finisher got a medal to wear and their picture taken in front of a "Finisher" backdrop.
