FINALLY! My Ironman Superfrog 70.3 Race Report ♀️
My slowest,yet toughest swim to date. I knew what I was in for–6ft waves that I had to swim through not once, but twice over the 2 loop swim course. I had nightmares long before the race for fear of the unknown& nightmares the night before the race for fear of what I had just practiced that afternoon. This was my 1st ocean race and it was unlike any ocean swim on the Ironman circuit. The race announcer said if this was any other Ironman race, they would have canceled the swim due to the challenging conditions.
The course is a beach start as swimmers battle the surf to get to the end of the pier. The course then veers right for a few strokes& then turns right again to head back to shore, making a rectangular shape. The swim finish is 100m from the swim start to account for the currents. We had to run back to the swim start to complete our 2nd loop.
To start, 2 swimmers were released over the timing mat every 5 seconds. Several minutes after the official start, it was my turn to go–I quickly got into my own rhythm. I kept repeating “1,2,3, under “1,2,3,under…”& before I knew it, I was past the surf. I looked forward to riding the waves on the way back until a large wave snuck up on me. I was under water longer than I was comfortable with & I began to panic. For those of you who have seen Blue Crush, I felt like the surfer girl who gets pulled under the water & knocked out when she hits the corral–only there was no corral (thank god!). In what felt like minutes later (it was actually seconds), the wave had passed. For a half second, I looked up confused to see others looking around, equally as fazed. A split second later, I realized I was in extremely shallow water. I looked up only to realize that I landed directly in front of the swim exit. That was convenient. I gained my footing & ran through the exit and sprinted the 100m to start my second loop, sore, out of breath & not looking forward to enduring another loop of pain... cont. in the comments#ironman703 #superfrog #superfrog703 #3athlonlife #womenfortri #findyourmoxie #nuunlife #nuunbassador #ironmannews #tbt #triathlon_in_the_world #openwaterswim
#tbt to the lush run course at #ironman703victoria two years ago. Straight up, the last 6 weeks have sucked. A lot. After pushing past the stomach flu + influenza + pneumonia/fluid aspiration, I’m hopelessly optimistic I’ve used up all of my bad juju for 2019 lol Staring at race pics on repeat to remind myself that no matter how far down I get pushed, I can always claw my way back to the top. After all, what fun would any of this be without a little challenge? I see you, Victoria. I see you. And you’re mine. #MoxieMultisport #FindYourMoxie #ToroPerformance #KeepItRich
Oh hey Oceanside, [[watts]] up? Obligatory “my rocket ♀️ is racked, I’m *actually* racing, and I’m ready to get sendy tomorrow” IG post. In all seriousness, I’m super stoked to be here and see what tomorrow brings. Aight SoCal, show me whatcha got #MoxieMultisport #FindYourMoxie #WattieInk #ToroPerformance #KeepItRich #im703oceanside
The more I pursue endurance sports, the more I learn about who I am and what I am capable of. I’ve also learned a great deal of humility. Shout out to my biggest supporter @sieed7 and to my coach @triathlongold for encouraging me to push through the hard times. Also, thanks to my teammates @moxiemultisport for the ass slaps and high fives out on the course. #findyourmoxie #moxiemultisport #ironman #im703oceanside #triathlon #wattieink #triathlongold
