Congratulations to Eric for completing his big triathlon of the season! After completing a sprint triathlon (500m swim, 12 mile bike, 5k run) and an Xterra sprint triathlon (swim, mountain bike, and trail run), and several other single sport races - Eric completed an Ironman 70.3 at Fort Wilderness at Disney World in Orlando, Florida. This race includes a 1.2 mi. swim • 56 mi. bike • 13.1 mi. run. Eric beat his goal swim time and finished in 49 minutes. He kicked butt on the bike, averaging 19.2 mph! And finished the run in about 3 hours.
We had a fun trip to Orlando for the race. We enjoyed a pre-race dinner at Macaroni Grill (thank you LifeTeen families for the gift card!). Sunday afternoon after the race, we walked through Downtown Disney and had sushi and wine for dinner at Wolfgang Pucks. During our car rides we began listening to Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace CDs courtesy of Elizabeth’s parents.
Eric’s post-race thoughts: Glad to finish, looking forward to another half Ironman in the future, and when we can afford the food budget, he’d love to train for a full Ironman
Congratulations, Eric!
