Congratulations to Run Swift Athlete Conner Kinney participating in Waco Half Ironman. This was his first triathlon EVER. He started from scratch with no swim experience, didn’t own a bike but had done some run races. He stuck to the training plan very well. We were both disappointed when the swim was cancelled because that took a lot to overcome during his training and he was ready. He biked the 56 mile bike course in 19 mph and ran the 13.1 miles in a 10:00 pace. Finished in a little over 5 hours total. Very solid race for a 1st timer. He’s already planning on signing up for another 70.3 and wants to do a Full Ironman. Very proud of his work ethic and race day performance.
