July 26, 2015 By: Runner Leana

Wow…what a day at the Ironman 70.3 Calgary!  There were plenty of ups and there were a few downs…

I set myself a series of process goals to hit along the race and overall I’m really happy with how I did.  Wow a 70.3 is hard though and I still feel like I have so much to learn!

Thank you to everyone for all the cheers and congratulations here, on twitter and on Instagram.  It meant so much to me!  Thank you so much!!

    Awesome to get a PR in the swim. Can’t wait to hear the whole race report. I will truly enjoy since triathloning was not put on my schedule this season. I will only help my 5 year old race her first one but just got back to running since competing in Ironman Boulder last year.

    Nice work on the swim PR, and another successful race. Cherish those scrapes and bumps they make excellent conversation starters:)
