The Boulder Ironman 70.3 triathlon is comprised of a 1.2-mile swim, 56-mile bike and 13.1-mile run, all set at the Boulder Reservoir, at the base of the gorgeous Rocky Mountains.
For me, the race served as the first true test of my hacked Crossfit Endurance training strategy. It was also the first time I’ve run over six miles, since injuring my foot back in February.
The race is half the distance of the full Ironman triathlon we have our sights on, and a major checkpoint on my road map to November 17.
So, how’d it go?
Freaking awesome.
Read on for a breakdown of the race, my nutrition plan, as well as two valuable lessons learned.
Also, thanks to everyone for all the well wishes and support! We’re galloping with a full head of steam toward Ironman Arizona, and appreciate you following along.
