Ironman Augusta – It is Official

Well, it is official. Barring injury, tragedy, or both, I will be competing in the 70.3 Ironman at Augusta, Georgia at the end of September.

It looks like my progression is on track and although I didn’t get in some of the NCTS races I wanted to, I will still be able to compete there while attempting 2 half-ironmans and 2 marathons this season.

I’m using the REV3 as a “test” race for the Ironman, so I’m banking everything on September. I honestly can’t wait to get started racing and as much as I love the high altitude training here in A-Stan, I’m ready to get back to business.

    Congrats! Looks like you have a pretty competitive calendar this year.

    Have you done the Duke Liver Half before? I assume that’s what you have as “Duke Liver Center Triathlon”.

    Thanks. I wish I was getting back earlier so I could get a few early races in, but I guess I don’t have much of a choice. I haven’t done any of the NCTS races, but my goal is to do at least 3, probably 4 if I can. I’m currently waiting for an official return date before I sign up for them. However, the REV3 and Augusta are a go.
