2024 Ironman 70.3 Waco - My First Ironman Event
I finally made it to the finish line of my first Ironman event. This was my experience at the 2024 Ironman 70.3 in Waco, TX. It's been a long two year journey of training, setbacks, triumphs and more. Thank you so much to my family and friends for all the support. It's been a long journey but I made it!

      I was just very specific. Age, weight, gender, current pace, HR zones and HRV status from Garmin. Then I gave the date of the race and my goals for race day. I let it know my schedule every week. It would generate my schedule. At the end of every week, I'd give it metrics from my workouts and let it know how I was feeling and it would generate the next week. If I wanted to work on something specific, like my running, I would let it know and it would adjust.

    A good friend got me riding again after hip replacements in 2020. Rode 100k in 2022 and 75 miles last year (at 71yo) when Hell’s Gate closed at 11am, 1-1/2 hours early due to conditions. 108F when my buddy and I finished. Brutal. We weren’t fast, but steady and persistent. Missed it this year; lost my friend to pancreatic cancer in late July. Plan to be back in 2025 to try to complete the HHH Century ride.

      108 is nuts! Sorry to hear about your friend. Maybe I'll join you in '25... maybe.

    Nice UTD cycling club bibs! I did a stint in cycling club back in 2016. Cool to see em out on the road. Congrats on your successful ride, even if it was a sufferfest at the end! Hoping to be at HHH next year myself. Maybe your memories will become rose tinted by then and I'll see you out there!

      I have to admit, I was never in the cycling club at UTD... I bought them straight up off a custom bib site.
