IM70.3 Eagleman 70.3: Lucky #13??

TLDR: An 11-minute PR in my 13th 70.3!! It definitely wasn't Lucky #13, though. I did the work, collected the puzzle pieces, and was able to put them together on race day!! Pre-Race I drove to Cambridge on Friday, which was the first day of my carb-loading plan. Having taken the Carb-Loading Masterclass in The Triathlon Nutrition Academy and practicing/ramping it for several weeks. I wrote my plan, packed a cooler, and got on the road! I made it to town in time to check in, do my pre-race run, and swim familiarization. On Saturday, I got up to do my pre-race safety check bike ride and then met up with fellow Team Zooters as they did their pre-race shake-out run. Race Morning As usual, I set three goals for this race, but I needed to protect my mental game on the run. So I only set the 3 goals for swim and bike. Instead of a goal for the run, I made myself a promise. At this race, I was also going to be testing the nutrition and hydration plans I had written based on

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

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. Choose the mile(s) you'd like to sponsor below. *link to this spreadsheet
