Hey Slowtwichers, I'm crowdsourcing some ideas for a birthday destination race next March (mid to end of March 2020). It's a big one so I really want to do something fun in a beautiful place. Here are a few ideas so far. What else am I missing out there??
Top Picks:
A full marathon in Moorea French Polynesia. This is top of the list so far but downside is the LONG flight from the East Coast. I am not a good flyer but will endure for something special. (have done a full marathon in Barbados in 2017 so I can handle extreme heat)
Ironman Campeche 70.3 - another possibility. We did PR 70.3 in 2017 and loved it! So we can do a hot 70.3 during that time of year. Well my husband will suffer on the run but he's tough :-)
Aruba - has a sprint Aquathlon (never done one) but would prefer something longer. Have always wanted to visit Aruba. And I hear the mountain biking is awesome there so that would be a part of the trip
Ironman Bariloche 70.3 in Patagonia - this is was what I originally wanted to do...... but I am worried about two bikes getting there on time and safely (read one blog about an athlete not racing Bariloche as his bike didn't make it). And being herbivores, I have been warned by a friend who was recently there that it is very hard for vegetarians and vegans (please be nice).
Anyhoo....what other March destination races have you done and recommend?? And if you have done some of my top picks, I'd love feedback. Thanks in advance!
Death is easy....peaceful. Life is harder.
