IronGirl Triathlon







I wanted to learn more about triathlon, so at the last minute, I decided to volunteer for the IronGirl Triathlon. This was the most volunteer-friendly race I have ever participated in. Everyone was so nice, and willing to answer questions and explain things. I was amazed at both the oldest and the youngest athletes. I didn't expect to see people in their 70s doing a triathlon, nor did I expect to see 13-year-olds competing. My kids couldn't do that. It was interesting to see the whole event, what people were wearing, their equipment, and how they approached transition. Although it was a very long volunteer commitment, the entire event was very well run and a truly great experience.
