Pictures from the Ironman 70.3
The thought of doing a full race write up is about as daunting as doing the race again. In summary, the day was incredible, swim was fantastic, bike was good and run felt excellent. Breaking 6 hours is a huge personal victory for me.
Final time: 5 hours, 57 minutes and 23 seconds

I would like to thank Julie, Carter, Alison, Alex, Susan, Randy, Bryan, Katie and Dave for their support. Without their encouragement the day of and hours before the race I couldn’t have done it.
I also want to thank my Master swim peeps. Mike, Adam, Blaine and Rick. You guys helped me more than you know. Blaine and his wife also killed it at the race that day. That family is amazing.
Lastly I want to thank my coach Felipe from Break-away Training. In the last 8 weeks Felipe has changed the way I look at training and allowed me to have personal accomplishments I could have never dreamed of. Structured training plans are amazing! As Felipe passed me on course he yelled out “YEAAAA ANDYYYYYYY!” I was so siked!
