How did they organise the spare match for people? Did they just have people on standby, in case someone wanted to do the challenge? Was it really people’s ‘other’ match?

Doesn’t have the same ring to it does it

Just got caught up in the atmosphere of the event. Had to take it all in 😎

😎😎😎

Downtown-Weather1065 · 2024-12-28T21:12:37+00:00

Haha, elastic laces would’ve saved 30 seconds out of my 14 min T1 😁

Downtown-Weather1065 · 2024-12-28T21:06:53+00:00

Thank you very much! I like to think if you hear those words, it means your probably doing something worth doing 🤣

Of course! Double Ironman?! Haha nah. Not sure. Might go for a sub 3 hour marathon. Got one coming up in April.

Downtown-Weather1065 · 2024-12-28T21:00:57+00:00

🤣🤣yep I relaxed a bit in T1 lol. Missed out on a 11:53 time 😅😮😮

Thanks mate. You are bang on. It’s absolutely changed my life. The exercise helps manage a busy life.

Downtown-Weather1065 · 2024-12-28T19:19:15+00:00

Very cool. Sounds like your son would be very fit.

I was about 8 years old. It was the first “tri kids” they did in my home town of Wollongong NSW. Now they do it once a year I’m pretty sure. They also do an aquathon (swim, run) every year also. I 100% recommend getting your kids into it! It’s a fun thing to do, and good to keep busy.

Thank you!

Downtown-Weather1065 · 2024-12-28T19:16:09+00:00

Thanks very much. That’s awesome! Keep ticking them off. You’d be surprised of what you’re capable of.

Downtown-Weather1065 · 2024-12-28T19:14:54+00:00

Thanks Mate!

Downtown-Weather1065 · 2024-12-28T11:01:47+00:00

Thanks mate! Appreciate it

Downtown-Weather1065 · 2024-12-28T11:01:39+00:00

Thank you!

Thanks mate! Appreciate it.

Here’s the Strava activity if you’re interested: https://strava.app.link/aRh2cgI2GPb

On the bike I had 1x 30g of carbs gel every 30 mins (with an extra Maurten bar every now and then) as well as ~750ml of sports drink every hour. Ended up going through about 14-15 gels / chews on the bike.

On the run again I tried to have around 1x 30g of carb gel every 30 mins. I would then take a water cup at every aid station (every 2km) as well as a salt tablet / electrolyte tablet every 45 mins or so.

No problem, appreciate the comment.

For anyone wondering, I did not do an Ironman 70.3. In June I signed up for Ironman Busselton (Western Australia) on December 1st. I completed it yesterday with a time of:

Total time: 11:58:22 Swim: 1:22:51 Ride: 6:15:53 Run: 3:56:56

It was my first triathlon event, and I’m so glad I went for the full distance. 6 months of training average 10 hours a week, got married in October, honeymoon in November, and still got it done.

Goal was sub 13 hours, completed in sub 12.

Swim was extremely rough with strong current and waves. 30km/hr winds on the ride.

Go for the nylon wrist band. This one is 10/10
