On July 12, I competed in my first half-Ironman – the Amica Ironman 70.3 Rhode Island triathlon. It was a 1.2 mile swim, a 56 mile bike and a 13.1 mile run.
My friend Pam Cotter at the Providence Journal asked me if I would write a guest post about my experience on her Projo.com fitness blog. I was more than happy to do so.
