I flew from Tampa to Boise for this race and thought it was spectacular. After doing Ironman 70.3 Florida the past three years in horrible heat and humidity on the most boring cross-country run course they could find, I was hoping for cooler (and drier) weather to hopefully break 5hrs. The scenery was spectacular, and the weather was a refreshing break from Florida. When I was riding into the wind and rain and up the hills, I just told myself "at least you're not sweating like a stuck pig!" I personally loved the 2pm start and hope they maintain it. In fact, my wife now wants to move to Boise! I missed 5hrs by exactly 1 min (I had a bike issue), but we plan on coming back to this race in the future. I hope you return as well for that sub 6 hour performance! r/Paul I stumbled upon your website and got a great laugh at your race report…very funny…and I certainly felt your pain since my feet are in similar condition at the moment!

That said, ROCK on for bad-assing it with your torn up feet girl! Also, I feel like there is a need in the triathlon world for some serious swimming clnics which I feel I could provide. In honor of you, I would call it = Swimming is bullshit, throw elbows or die. Ok, so I'm not set on the name for the clinics yet, but something along those lines. I will teach the art of kicking at people as they start to swim over you. How to effectively angle your elbow so it hits the nose of the person who just whompped you in the stomach. Also, will be the ninja skill of hiding in transition area so you can jump the competitor who kicked your goggles off during the swim....

I had wanted to do this race but worried about the 2PM start and you said it all - too much time in the morning to stress out!! I love the sexy picture of your bike - what a difference a year makes! I think you did awesome and your times were amazing based on the conditions. I look forward to reading about how you kick butt on your next 70.3! Hope to actually see you sometime!
