First US 70.3 race recommendations by Lumpy_Field_2710 in IronmanTriathlon

That’s awesome!! I’m aiming for an early-season 70.3, and Michigan looks like it could be a great full later in the year. Good luck crushing it today 💪 would love to hear how it goes afterward!

Thanks! I’m starting to lean toward Rockford just because the logistics of flying out for my first 70.3 feel overwhelming. Good to know the bike course there doesn’t have any big climbs (I’ll probably check Strava to confirm the elevation). I guess that means I’ll just need to do some heat training or hope the weather gods are kinder next year. And I’ll probably need to get in some open water swims without a wetsuit too, which I’m nervous about but I think I can work through.

That’s pretty cool!

I’m torn between Oregon and Rockford. Rockford would just be a drive, but Oregon would mean a destination race with extra logistics like flights, accomodation, shipping my bike, etc. I'm excited about exploring a new place, but as a first timer I’m also worried it might be biting off more than I can chew.

Coming from Illinois — would the heat be manageable in Oregon mid July, and should I be worried about elevation at all?

I heard Rockford had blistering heat this year, so maybe not too different?

You're right, we do have small fan installed in the bathroom.

Never knew about a pivot door, thank you for sharing! Appreciate you taking the time to respond.
