🚴‍♀️ IRONMAN 70.3 ATHLETES — HAVE YOU RIDDEN THE COURSE YET?

Race day is coming fast!

Join us this Saturday for our supported Ironman 70.3 CDA Course Ride and take some of the uncertainty out of race day.

✅ Learn the course✅ Practice your nutrition plan✅ Ride with other athletes✅ Build confidence before June 21

💙 Our support vehicle team will be available throughout the course with extra hydration, snacks, and assistance if needed.

💙 Concerned about pace? Don't be. We have athletes of varying abilities participating, and one of our past 70.3 finishers will be riding with a few athletes planning a more relaxed pace. This is about building confidence and learning the course—not setting speed records.

💙 Experienced athletes are welcome too! Come help us encourage and support those preparing for race day.

⚠️ This is not a closed course. Please ride safely, obey all traffic laws, and wear bright, high-visibility clothing whenever possible. Much of the route is on open roads.

Then join us the following Sunday June 14th for our Transition Clinic + Mini Tri at City Park to practice transitions, get familiar with the race venue, and fine-tune your race-day routine.

The goal isn't fitness.
The goal is confidence. 👊🏼

Whether this is your first 70.3 or your tenth, we'd love to have you join us.

Fuel + function + flavor — this is one of my favorite go-to breakfasts when training hard and keeping inflammation in check.

These protein pancakes bring the muscle support and the gut support:

✅ High protein for recovery
✅ Oats + fruit for clean performance carbs
✅ Yogurt or kefir for gut health (add after cooking to keep those probiotics alive)
✅ No junk — just real fuel

Pro tip: Cook the pancakes first, then top or mix in your yogurt/kefir after heating so you protect the beneficial bacteria that support digestion and inflammation balance.
