Chris Rountree

11 months after my first Ironman 70.3 race I competed in the @ironmantri 70.3 World Champs in Nice France. What an amazing experience made even better as I got to race with my 2 great mates that have been with me through the whole journey @bswelty @markmlitton The swim in the crystal clear Mediterranean Sea, a brutal, but also epic 4100 feet climb up the Maritime Alps, then the twisting and turning downhill back to run along the Promenade des Anglais in front of a great crowd. 56th out of 359 in my age group and 1036th out of 3147 overall. There were some amazing athletes competing & I definitely left it all out there. The standard in Europe is very high. I will be looking to qualify for next year & do better! Big thanks to @jasonkiwitx @endur3bikes for an amazing bike setup & @daniel.puig.00 for the body work to keep me racing @cervelo @fasttt.bike @saucony @hedwheels @garmin @xterraplanet @friscotriathlonclub @zootsports @getrawsport
