The Timberman, Ironman 70.3 experience was what I was looking for and what I expected. It was highly anticipated for many months (years really) and this event delivered the goods. I experienced what was truly crystal clear water during the swim, quad busting climbs and crazy descents on the bike, a challenging, yet fair route on the run, and a world class field.
Watching Andy Potts come out of the water leading the professional men by 100 meters was amazing and he made it look effortless.
Seeing Chrissie Wellington hammer on the bike and then cruise on the run was awe-inspiring. Both returning champions, both giving it their all, both beating their own course records. Studs.
My family was very supportive, patient, and understanding of my need to drag them across the country to become a Timberman. It was a wonderful trip and well worth it.

Peace.
