Ironman 70.3 Timberman

Awesome race. Great friendly course. My time, somehow, was faster than last year, it was the course, my opinion easier than the Mooseman.

My parents joined us on the trip - turns out to be the last trip we would have with my mother - she has since left this earth. We drove up in one vehicle, parents, children and wife. WE had so much fun. I really enjoy the area and we stayed near Weirs Beach.

I found a ride to the race online and turns out that the two racers were staying right next door to me - what a break.

The girls raced n Saturday in the kids run for Make a Wish - what an awesome event. The girls ran for a child and her wish, it was so special.

The weather was ideal for my race, overcast but not cold to start, a little bit of rain started on ride - this slowed everyone down, and no rain for my part of run. I wanted to finish under 6 hours and was able to do so. I was disappointed in my swim and should have gone without a wet suit - as I had gained several pounds, I just couldn't get comfortable in the suit.

My ride was great, I was averaging over 20 for most of ride until end due to rain.

I had 2 good transitions and my run was good for 5 miles, after which I began the run a mile walk a mile. I just didn't have the legs.

Overall, a great weekend with family.
