Vegas Baby!


IRON GIRL...
Launched in 2004 with just two events, the Iron Girl brand has grown to now include 13 events nationwide, varying in distance from 5K to duathlon and triathlon. In addition, Iron Girl will introduce a
1/2 marathon running series with a kick off in Clearwater with a 1/2 marathon in 2011 and see growth in 2012.  The 1/2 is the ‘it’ distance and Iron Girl will provide an unmatched event experience.
Iron Girl's mission is to empower women toward a healthy lifestyle. The Iron Girl event experience provides women with a competitive platform and amenities such as: a post-race catered Breakfast Café,
performance shirts sized just for women, professional timing, personalized race bibs, custom finisher medals, post-race giveaways and much more. The Web site is filled with training tips, guest columnists and nutrition information. Iron Girl has also furthered its offerings with the addition of IronGirlshop.com with items such as hydration and nutrition products, jewelry and sports bags.
*be careful it is addictive!

I participated in Iron Girl - Las Vegas last year for the first time and absolutely loved it so I'm doing it again this year!  I can't wait.  It is so much fun.  One of the funnest things about it is that, as the name implies, it is just for the GIRLS!  Iron Girl 2010 was my first open water tri and I panicked a bit at first but got into a rhythm and finished the swimming leg just fine.  This year I should do a lot better with the swim because I have been training a lot more in the pool.  This is a sprint tri which includes an 800 meter swim, a 30K bike ride, and a 5K run.
Iron Girl - Las Vegas is so beautiful.
It takes place at the Loew's resort at Lake Las Vegas.
