Ironman 70.3 Wilmington: Final Prep Before Race Day!

Race day is almost here! Join me for Friday’s final preparations before Ironman 70.3 Wilmington, NC. We kicked off the morning with breakfast with my buddy Jim at his beach house in Oak Island, followed by a relaxing 40-minute bike ride around the island. With rain and strong winds in the forecast, I made an important equipment decision: swapping out my disc wheel for my carbon wheel for better handling and safety in the expected conditions. Race-day preparation means knowing when to adjust your plans! Next, we headed back to the Ironman Village for some shopping, catching up with friends, and soaking in the excitement before the big day. Then it was time to handle the logistics: dropping off my run bag at T2 before making the 40-minute drive to T1 to rack my bike, with a lunch stop along the way. After getting all the gear where it needed to be, we returned to the beach house for dinner, relaxation, and some much-needed downtime. Now everything is ready. The gear is checked, the transition bags are dropped off, and the mind is focused. It’s time to get some quality sleep and prepare for race day! To all my fellow athletes racing this weekend, best of luck! Trust your training, stay flexible, and enjoy every moment of the journey. Let’s get this race started!
