Going to Nice
Quote | Reply
I clicked a bucket list item today at IM Gulf Coast 70.3. I got a slot for the WC. I can’t believe it, and I am so stoked. I got a total crap drafting penalty that I thought killed the dream. Then, the heat destroyed me on the run. But, just enough people passed on the slots for the rolldown to make it to me. Happy days.

Now I need to recon the course and figure out the travel.

The swim at GC today was epically hard. And for those who did not get an early start, the bike got a choice headwind in the return. It was a 3-fer of hard races.

Congrats on Nice!! I just want to second your comments on the course conditions. I thought the RD went out on a limb to let us swim today. Tough return trip into the wind on the bike leg, and then I fried on the run. Brutally tough race!

Ditto. A friend of mine who has done a lot of these thought this was the toughest swim he’s ever done. I was at NOLA 3 years ago with epic chop, and the GC swim was harder. No wetsuit, and the waves and swells never relented. I saw lots of people struggling in the water. But the course had tons of safety boats, and they were very good.

Congrats! Nice is such an awesome place. I'm sure it will be one of the most memorable races you'll do, and well done to battle the GC race to get there. Sounds like you earned it for sure.
