Hello all. I'm in College Park, GA and completed my first 70.3 in Raleigh this June. Up until this point, I've managed my own training as I've been a competitive swimmer and coach a high school swim team. My time in Raleigh was ok as I was just trying to finish, but I'd really love to drop 30 or 40 minutes on my next race at that distance. I think it's possible because I knew going in that I hadn't trained hard enough.

I've convinced my wife to register with me for Ironman 70.3 Hawaii next May, so we'll be using BT quite a bit to get ourselves ready. Thanks for all the great content.

Robert

Hey Robert! Congrats on bagging your first 70.3! Outstanding work. Love the fact that you're wife also loved to go long. My wife, doesn't swim bike or run and wven though she is a great cheerleader - I'd love to be able to share the sport with you.

BT is a great site and will help you reach your goal of improving your time on your next HIM. Give some consideration to joining a mentor group. I'm in one called the Beer Drinkers Appreciation and Accountability Society. If beer motivates you - we'd love to have you join us so we can pick your brain about all things swimming while supporting you in your journey.

Best,
