IRONMAN 70.3 DES MOINES | An Average, Middle-Age, Busy, Slightly Overweight Guy's Personal Journey

Ironman and Ironman 70.3 events are not easy. The half ironman consists of the following distances: 1.2 mile swim; 56 mile bike ride, and a 13.1 mile run. The Wandering Firefighter was retired from these distances after finishing Ironman Boulder about seven years earlier. But he came out of retirement when he heard the Certified Piedmontese Ironman 70.3 was coming to his home city of Des Moines, Iowa. His journey to Ironman Boulder was eventfull enough...and it was not easy. He needed a lot of triathlon motivation and push yourself motivation for that one--and it was when he was younger and more fit! Will he complete Ironman 70.3 Des Moines, or will he fall short of his goal? You'll have to watch to find out!

One disclaimer: this is NOT an triathlon training video or an Ironman training video. This triathlon documentary is a personal journey--the ups, the downs, the in betweens. You know, an average, middle-age, busy, slightly overweight guy's journey. From bike rides at the Banner Lake mountain bike trails, to some open water swimming at Lake Ahquabi, join along for some laughs and some moments of questioning whether or not crossing the Des Moines Half Ironman finish line was even a possibility.

Though this channel is normally a travel vlog, this episode can serve as a traithlon vlog, as well as a Des Moines tourism video, showing just one of many fun things to do in Des Moines, Iowa. The Wandering Firefighter loves to journey around the world, but he is also all about the journey of life! Ironman 70.3 Des Moines 2021 is a great event and Ironman 70.3 Des Moines 2022 looks to be even better.

Hopefully my Ironman 70.3 journey can show you that whether your journey is to Ironman or your journey is to Ironman 70.3--YOU CAN DO IT! Triathlon goals seem to evolve all the time. You may have completed a sprint triathlon and it made you believe you could finish an olympic triathlon. And then a half ironman. And then an Ironman. Many people travel the country and travel the world for Ironman events. Go do it!

Feel free to share with anyone you know who is training for something they may be having doubts about...they may relate :)
