First place overall female in El Paredon 70.3!
Race took place in the beautiful black beaches of the pacific coast of Guatemala. Honestly, it was one of the hardest hot weather races that I’ve ever done at this distance.
Overall the race run smoothly from race package pickup to the finish line. But as a international triathlete, that has raced in 3 IRONMAN 70.3 World Championships and raced in the USA, Canada, Europe, Africa, and Mexico there were moments in this race that were chaotic.
