Hey Simon! Thanks for this and all your videos, super helpful, man! Looking forward to racing this course in 2024!💪

[bajanman]

Awesome, thanks for sharing with me the activities you love.

[allenvilleendurance]

Great video, love this course, and can’t wait to float the swim!

[latinedwards]

Thanks for this video. Strongly considering this event now, and it will be on my birthday in 2025

[jthomp]

Such awesome video! Appreciate the recon

[ike]

I was volunteering there this year and I think I saw you as you were leaving

[backcountryfit]

What kind of handlebar bag do you have on the Dimond? I'm rocking the Marquise as well and that set up for training rides looks awesome!

[PianMon]

I'll be there! So, left of the Island then make your way to the center beyond, spot a lone tree, right turn to swim out. Do most people break 20 minutes on the swim or is that just because you're a super fast swimmer?

[SuccessSeeker]

Could you please help me. I have just started learning to swim over the last few months and I want to do a 70.3 Ironman I’m having trouble with learning the breathing. Could you explain what I need to do? Do I breath out as soon as my face hits the water and grab more air every two strokes or do I hold my breath and let it out just before grabbing more air? It’s been months of training and I can only get about 200 meters also how do you swim with a faster stroke in triathlon swimming with people because I know it’s different then swimming in a pool where you try to glide Because in open water people and hit you and mess up your stroke please help thanks

In your video you can clearly see the bottom of rocks and it looks pretty shallow. How much of the swim is like that? And was that right at the beginning oe closer to the island?

[ehabhomes]

Are there people to collect your shoes and other small items at the swim start?

[dennisdeleon]

You said swim to the left of the island, is there a possibility that the current will take you on the right side of it and miss the left side?

[elkapalka]

I did this race twice, I think it's the easiest 70.3 that we have right now by far!

[thecomeback-myjourneytoone]

I will be middle of the afternoon finisher, shading still there on the run?

Would you recommend this course for a first time 70.3?
