@captain_amberica_: My mantra is “You can do hard things”. Find something that challenges you, stick with it even if the days are hard and the training sucks. For me, the swim was the absolute worst part (I hate swimming), but after being in the pool consistently I saw my technique and speed improve and when that happened, confidence kicked in that I could do this. Overall finish time 6hr 1min 🏅 Ironman 70.3 OHIO is next 🏊🏼♀️🚴♀️🏃🏼♀️💨 #ironman #panamacitybeach #training #triathlon #Love
IM 70.3 Gulf Coast was also my first! I had to backstroke a little because of how choppy it got! Lol. Congratulations!!

Wait I need to hear more on being efficient via backstroke! Mine is in 2 weeks and my open water swim stressed me out that I might not make the time cut off :( did you feel like it still kept you on pace to make the cut off ?

For the bike and the run, did you just have all the carbs and electrolytes for the race already on you? Or did you have a decent amount and supplement the rest at aid stations
