I had a charity ticket because regular tickets were hard to come by, but it was pretty easy to fundraise the $400 or so dollars for this race and I was happy to do so. Aside from that, sign up and communication was easy and smooth. The race venue was tough for rideshare drivers to drop-off/pick-up, but I believe there was a decent parking garage (albeit not cheap). Check-in was quick, hardly a line, and it was easy to get inside the racing area. Everything was well organized, good warm-up area, and on time. The course was as expected, except station 8 (wall balls) entry was on the other side so your last running lap was roughly 2.3 laps long. Most other female open competitors were nice and friendly, only a couple unnecessary shoulder bumps and cut offs, but there are always a few bad apples. Overall, really enjoyed the experience and looking forward to doing it again!
