I saw the priority registration opened today and was curious how much I need to budget for the registration cost? If anyone registered today and is willing to share that would be amazing! Thank you so much.
Or if anyone has a priority link they aren’t using and willing to pass along that would be much appreciated as well. Thanks in advance everyone!
Hey everyone, I’m looking for some advice on my readiness for my Ironman 70.3 in two weeks, which is in Muskoka and known to be a rly hilly and hot course. Due to limited access, time, and resources, I haven’t been able to get any open water swim practice in. Right now, I’m swimming once a week and I can easily doing the full 1.8 km in about 50 to 55 minutes with short breaks. I might be able to get in one open water swim just two days before the race when I’m in Muskoka but that would be it. I’m worried about safety given it would be my second OWS on race day and concerned I’d be risking it for myself or others. I’m not worried about the distance but I know how critical practicing OWS is and would welcome any thoughts.
On the bike, my longest ride so far is about 60 km in 2 hours 45 minutes, but I haven’t done the full 90 km yet, especially with those big hills. Running is good, I have a solid base, around 25-30 km a week, and a marathon background.
I’m mostly worried about the swim being a risk. I don’t want to endanger anyone or myself. What do you all think, should I still go for it, or is this a risk I should avoid? Would really appreciate your thoughts!
