Very belated, but here’s my race report from Ironman 70.3 Washington Tri-Cities a few weeks ago.

Alright, I’m officially doing another full-distance Ironman next year. Montana, LFG!

Well, I successfully managed to avoid covid all this time until today. Six years was a pretty good run, I guess. So far it’s pretty mild, hopefully it stays that way.

Why not do a monster run right before spending the day in airports and planes?

Excited to race a full Ironman in Montana next year. So excited.

The last of the three new races to be announced this week is now live: Ironman Montana in Great Falls, MT, August 15, 2027. Priority registration opens October 27th at 12pm ET, and general registration on the 29th. Finally, we get a new full in the western US—I’m signing up as soon as it opens.

The second of three new races to be announced this week is live: Ironman 70.3 Utah in Orem, UT, August 21, 2027. Priority registration opens October 27th at 12pm EST, and general registration on the 29th. Would love to do this one—it’s actually now the closest race to me.

It’s finally official—Ironman 70.3 Lake George, on June 13, 2027. Priority registration opens October 27th at 12pm EST, with general registration following on October 29th, also at 12pm EST.

I really needed to hear this after my last race.

This gets a full Women Rock from me, hell yeah

From what I’m hearing, it’s: - Ironman 70.3 Lake George (Lake George, NY) – June 13, 2027 - Ironman Montana (Great Falls, MT) – August 15, 2027 - Ironman 70.3 Utah (Orem, UT) – August 21, 2027 Very, very excited to have a new full in the Mountain West, if that’s accurate.

Living vicariously through Rouvy while I watch the Ironman World Championship.

Exciting—Great Falls, Montana is considering hosting an Ironman-branded race starting in mid-August next year, and all signs point to it being a full-distance race. It’s about time we get another full Ironman in the western US.

Well, that’s my 2027 season sorted (the Boise date is wrong, though, it’s actually on July 24th). Only 190 days until race day!

A few photos from Ironman 70.3 Washington Tri-Cities this weekend. Race report coming later this week, but pretty good race overall for me, although I was a couple of minutes slower than last year. Next up, Oceanside in April. That’s it for this season!

Forgot to post here, but the race went well, although I was a couple of minutes slower than last year. Also, the medal has a built-in corkscrew.

Beautiful morning for a race.

Bike and run gear ready to go in transition. Time to head for the swim.

Nice, 66.7°F/19.3°C water this morning in the Columbia River for Ironman 70.3 Washington Tri-Cities. Race starts in about ninety minutes.

The bike is racked and ready for tomorrow. Now time to relax and check the rest of my gear fifty more times before hitting the sack.

Third year racing Ironman 70.3 Washington Tri-Cities, and the forecast is looking great for tomorrow: Low wind and no rain, although a touch warm, with a 30°C/86°F high. Hopefully better than last year, though—that wind was brutal.

All checked in for Ironman 70.3 Washington Tri-Cities tomorrow! Bib number 79, here’s my live tracking link if you want to follow along; race starts at 6:30 AM PDT.

Damn, the updated covid shot hit me like a sack of bricks this year. I have no energy whatsoever today. I think a rest day is in order.

I’m very tempted to sign up for next year’s race.

I’m begging Rouvy to please let me finish a single workout route.

Good morning.

🇸🇮 Tadej Pogacar abandons 🇪🇸 Vuelta a Espana after stage 8 crash 📰 www.domestiquecycling.com/en/news/tade... 📸 Cor Vos

Tadej Pogačar has abandoned the Vuelta a España after a crash on Stage 8. This is the first Grand Tour he’s abandoned. I can’t quite believe my eyes. On such an innocuous, straight bit of road too. Reminiscent for me of when Mark Cavendish crashed out a few years back. Insane how things can change.

Great news, looks like I’ll be racing Ironman 70.3 Coeur d’Alene for another three years.

Wow, this stage is nuts. Riding in a hailstorm ain't fun.

Shipped some visual tweaks to www.giventotri.com today. Might as well show the cover photos I had already taken and wasn't showing anywhere on the site.

Good morning.

Queen K! In Rouvy, that is. I need to ride this for real someday. It must be absolutely magical.

Trying out Rouvy for a bit.

I’m a sucker for Whoop’s Healthspan vanity number thingy. Why yes, I’m only 33.3 years old, thank you very much.

From four years ago: A race report from Ironman 70.3 Boulder, my first half-distance triathlon. I've been thinking I'd love to do this race again at some point. www.giventotri.com/2022/08/09/r...

15 hours of training this week and I didn’t even swim. Reeeeally looking forward to a rest day tomorrow.

Been making some changes to giventotri.com recently. The whole thing is now served from Cloudflare Workers, so it should be insanely fast to load and navigate now.

Damn, I can't believe Squiban is still going after that crash. That's some grit.

Well, it was nice while it lasted.
