Although the swim got shortened, glad the race was not canceled. Rain or shine, it got done. Pro-tip: if you need a shot of adrenaline before a race, try putting your wetsuit on backward and not realize it until moments before hitting the water.
(John) hey man, I appreciate you acknowledging that. When I tried my first IM (Arizona), it was a huge bummer having all the gear and not being able to wear it. Sold or threw out most of it. For this year’s Placid, I’m not sure why IM sent me the hat way in advance but I’ll bring it with me on race day with hopes to wear it at the finish line! Thanks again and appreciate your support!

Dude that is crazy congrats!
Thanks a lot brother! Have any coming up yourself?
Glad it didn't get cancelled. I lose almost all motivation when I hear the swim portion is cancelled.
Same here! My first (John) was 70.3 gulf coast 2022, canceled swim…the worst
Top effort mate
Thank you man! More effort to come!
Great Vid pro keep up with thoose💪💪
Thanks! Will do!
Appreciate the support fam!
Great video dude. Forgot to mention your time 😅
How long it took you to finish?
I finished right under 7 hours. That's with a shortened swim, looking forward to to Gulf Coast and technically completing an entire swim there.
Respect for not wearing the shirts/stuff since you didn’t “earn” for lake placid.

Wow look at that weather. Looks like a british race 😂😂
Better on race day than during training! We’re both looking to do London in 2025, how about yourself?
What kind of bike do you have?
I was lucky to find a used Canyon Speedmax. Amazing for a first bike.
