Calgary 70.3


Racing at 3500Ft is challenging, especially when coming off a half Ironman 3 weeks ago and a two week training camp in beautiful Victoria.
The Viterra Ironman 70.3 in Calgary was an amazing course with great organizers and i am already excited to toe the line next year.
I wished i had a little more altitude training before i arrived especially with the large group of athletes from Boulder coming but everything worked out fine. I had a sub par swim exciting pretty far back from the main contenders(*i could hardly breath), however i managed to stay in the mix on the bike/run to finish 6th overall and top Canadian.
I qualified for World 70.3 Triathlon Championships in November so i can now concentrate on doing well there. As soon as Carley downloads some photos i will post some great photos. I want to thank my great training partners, sponsors and the coachs at Lifesport for getting us all ready for the great showings we had.
