Swim didn’t go the way I had hoped coming out at 39:22 - 162nd in my gender and 785th overall, I knew it was time to hunt down some positions. Put the work in on the bike finishing 90km in 2:40 in 56th position for my gender and 541st overall. I am a mediocre cyclist after all.

Thank you Cairns 🌴💕

not the perfect day I imagined, but Ironman is never perfect, and it’s never meant to be. It’s meant to be a challenge, to hurt your feelings, make you question yourself, and challenge the cartilage in your knees.

I had a strong swim and bike. 5 minute PB for the swim, and coming off the bike 4th in my AG. The bike course was nothing short of brutal head wind and the most beautiful coastal views (tit for tat, right?) I’ve spent 5 months trying to become a stronger cyclist, and it shows in every race I do. So thank you to my friends for letting me sit on your wheels during intervals, teaching me how to bunny hop, waiting for me at the top of hills, and forcing me to go faster.

For the run, I am nothing short of gutted. I was so ready to leave this race with a 5 at the start of my total time. On my way out of T2, I hit a ditch in the grass and rolled my ankle, aggravating my already problematic ankle. I spent the first 10km in tears, or on the verge of them, and found myself in a dark mental space, and I couldn’t snap out of it. The mental hurt just isn’t something you can train for and it dulled a beautiful day for me.

At 18km, I ran into @milli.gentle who I had randomly run into numerous times during the week. I can only thank her for helping me get out of my head. The ironman community is so small but so kind and supportive. thank you for getting me through milli 🫶

I also had the privilege of racing with my dad, starting the swim together, cheering him along, and celebrating together. He’s the reason I started this sport, and I can say it’s absolutely the highlight of any race I’ve ever done. Seeing him cross the finish line was more joyful than crossing it myself. Thank you for inspiring me Dad.

My 70.3 journey isn’t done yet, and I can’t wait for my next challenge.
