    Looking forward to returning to New Orleans this weekend for the first time in four years for the Oschner IronMan 70.3. One of my favorite cities with some great childhood memories.

    Any other triathletes participating?

    They canceled the swim! With 20+ knot winds, Pontchartrain was too rough for the safety craft to get into the water. The race turned into a duathlon with a time-trial bike start. I came in at 4 hr, 46 minutes, with the following splits:

    56 mile bike: 2:54 (19.25 mph average)
    13.1 mi run: 1:49 (8:23 min/mi)

    With an expected 35 min swim and transition, I would have come in around 5:21, well below my 5:40 goal. The bike was tough with the wind, but otherwise the course was great. The run was very scenic with the last two miles on Espenlade Ave and a finish at Riverwalk.

    Slightly disappointed that my first IronMan 70.3 was a 69.1 but still had a lot of fun.
