Manon's 1st Ironman 70.3

Ironman 70.3 Luxenburg  - 18th June 2018 (L)

Race Reporter: Manon The Ironman 70.3 Luxemburg took place last weekend, Sunday the 18th of June. From the club Khalid, Alexandra and I accepted the challenge months ago and were ready to rock! For myself it was my first long distance triathlon and I can say it was a very special experience. We arrived on the Friday afternoon directly at the event village in Remich to pick up our race pack. In the end it was only the stickers really and there was not that much animation at the village so we quickly moved on to our hotel. Friday was all about relaxing and we enjoyed a nice pizza in the heart of the old town of Luxemburg city, felt like holidays! The Saturday was all about organisation. We went back to the race village first of all to do a little muscle wake up: 45 minutes on the bike and 30 minutes jog. Then there was a race briefing where they explained to us all the details of the course which was really useful. After our lunch we then dropped our bikes and bags at the transition area. Quite a long and exhausting day after all, so time to relax at night with a big plate of pasta before the big day.
