I headed into the inaugural Ironman 70.3 on the Sunshine Coast off the back of some quite light training. The event was in a really beautiful location and only an hour and a half away from home.

Not knowing how fast I would cycle I was really happy to complete my first 70.3 race in 4hrs 45 mins, much faster than hoped and setting a worryingly fast time to beat in my next 70.3!
