Sponsor-A-Mile: 70.3 World Championships in St. George, Utah

It is almost time for the BIG ONE! The race that I have been fundraising for and working towards since November of last year: the IRONMAN 70.3 World Championships in St. George, Utah! As an Ironman Foundation Ambassador, all of my Ironman brand races have me RACING FOR MORE, but this one is the pinnacle. I am proud to be representing IMF and all of the good that can come from their initiatives. With that in mind, I am asking you to sponsor a mile during this race. For each of my IRONMAN races this year, I have taken your inspiration and printed it on tattoo paper to put on my arms and legs so that I can see it while I am riding and running. When the going gets tough, these notes remind me that I am doing the race for more than myself! Will you consider sponsoring a mile to help MAKE AN IMPACT and leave a quote or advice to inspire me during 70.3 St. George on October 28, 2022? Here is how: 1.

IM70.3 Indian Wells 2022 Race Report

Pre-Race On April 30th, Chris Kenon messaged me asking me to be her Battle Buddy and join her for this race. If you know me, you know it did not take much thought before I was IN! Travel + Triathlon = Happy Erin!! Rumors were that this is a fast course with good chances for a PR. I asked her to join me on Team IMF for this race! She got to work right away and raised over $1800 for the Foundation! We also traveled with fellow Team Zooter - Chandler Carranza, our Coach - Sami Winter, and Sami's Fiance (and bike mechanic) Charlie! It was a quick trip flying to California on Friday, Racing on Sunday, and Home by Monday! We stayed at a VRBO near the Indian Wells Tennis Garden, which worked out perfectly! On Saturday we did our bike safety ride and then dropped off all of our things. At this race, you have to dip your wetsuit in a chlorine bath and leave it at T1 along with your bike and bike bag. The Run bag goes to T2, which we coordinated with the Team IMF Q&A with the
