Well, the bike course is on some pretty busy roads. And it's flat, and it can get windy. I personally like hills, less wind and more rural roads. With the Longhorn you get all of that. It's not horrible, but compared to Longhhorn it's not great.

The run course can be very miserable, because it's HOT and HUMID. Longhorn was, and Prairie Man can be worse. 2007 was miserable I heard. But I guess that's what you get in Texas, in September, right?

Otherwise, I would say the run course is easier than Longhorn, because it's flat. Flat is good for the run!

Overall, it's a good race and Ironhead is a solid race productions organization. Jack who heads it up is an old sea dog... but he can make jokes at times. HA!
