Nice work on the markers! And I’ve only been on Athletica for 6mo and feel the same, so am glad to hear your feedback after being on for 2+ years, thanks for sharing

Never did triathlon before, setup Athletica at the beginning of the year to race in the 70.3 in Augusta, hurricane had different plans, was bummed, continued training and switched to the 70.3 in Florida.
My first ever 70.3 clocked in at 5:45
Swimming is my achilles heel, the water was cold, I had cold water shock and couldnt breathe for the first 5 minutes before I got in the grove and finished at an hour and two minutes(1570th position), did transition, got on the bike and went to recover my lost time, ended up completing the bike segment at (288th position) and got on the run, the sun came out blazing, we went from 60F at the swim start to almost 90F during the run.
Overall I was very satisfied with the training programs, I feel it prepared me well and it was nice to close out the year sub 6 for my first triathlon ever.

Congrats!!! That is amazing first time 70.3 with plenty of stories to tell! Cold water shock is not fun - I had it on my first IM!
Enjoy training for your next one! Did you sign up for it yet?
