The wind was very strong in the morning and the swim had to be cut to 500 m only. It was a very interesting swim as my body was getting slapped by waves and other swimmers. The bike ride is very hilly and headwinds until mile 36, but the scenery was great. The run was fine, but I am not a fan of courses that have many turns (it make you feel every mile is longer). I should have been less conservative on my run and bike, and I paid the price with my finish time.

This race is my new favorite. Everything about this event is great. Well deserved designation as “best” in many athlete polls. The venue, production and course are ALL ideal for a 70.3. Just enough challenge to support the training. Weather & climate were perfect. I didn’t want to leave the venue after the race. The village was located in a beach park that makes it easy to lounge around and enjoy recovering under the pines. I’ll be coming back!
