I want a slot.

I’m training to get one at Augusta 70.3 in September 2020. I already booked my hotel room.

I got a 4:48 this year at Augusta and it rolled down to a 4:39 in M35-39.

My plan is to hit 4:20-4:30 next year. However, there is another guy in my age group that lives in my city that got a 4:11 there last year, so really I want to crank out times faster than him at some point.

My goal for the slot is a 28 + 3 + 2:20 + 3 + 1:31 = 4:25. Hopefully that will be enough. I think I’m almost there right now. I just need to run train a bit more as I haven’t done that much running this year.

I’m a bit unsure what my plan would be for Utah if I get the slot. I guess AG podium is all I could really aim for and in M35-39, is probably pretty tough. I’m way more down for driving to Utah than flying to New Zealand though. It stresses me out thinking of flying with my bike.


If you want a shot at the AG podium at 70.3 world's in 35-39 I think you need to be a 4:05 or faster kind of guy. I qualified for Nice with a 4:26 in Boulder that got me 3rd AG. If I had not crashed I suspect I would have been around 100th (actually more like 130th) in 40-44 at Nice. Slots at St. George will be harder to get at US races than they were for Nice.
