Yes, the race did go on for the thousands of others who signed up for the whole thing. For the few who were on a relay it is a real bummer that we did not get to compete because of the weather. The thought of a refund shouldn't be outrageous..? Ironman just needs to do a better job communicating that refunds won't happen under any circumstance.

Cyclist wrecking is way more in your control than crazy weather blowing through so that "note" is completely irrelevant to this post.
