Acapulco 70.3 Ironman
As some of you who might have read a bit from my blog I raced my first 70.3 at the end of March. I had felt some relief from not “having” to cycle since I had just finished a race.

By the time we had finished the three days I was really exhausted and had zero desire to race in the next two weeks, to be more precise by the end of day one I was already tired, day two it's when I had died, day three I came back to life from the dead and did not want to see my bike in a while. So doing a "half-ironman" did not feel quite enticing. For those who are not familiar with triathlon it is 1.9 km of swimming, 90 km cycling and 21 km running.
