Ironman Malaysia

Congrats to Finish Strong Coaching's Jerry Palmer who competed in Ironman Malaysia on Saturday, September 28. This Ironman is touted as a truly Malaysian cultural journey through tropical, hilly and demanding terrain of Langkawi Island. The ocean swim started from a sandy beach on Legenda Park with a two-loop triangle out to Eagle Point and back. A two-loop bike course headed out of Kuah town on to an anti-clockwise loop from the Southeast up around Gunung Raya mountain and into the northwest. Athletes returned to Kuah town for the run: four loops that wind through Legenda Park, market places and the local stadium before returning to cross the line at Dataran Lang—where the giant eagle sculpture creates a formidable backdrop for this already imposing finish line.

Jerry reports, "Got my money's worth out of it. Beautiful day - hard course. In the end all that counts is the finish and the journey."
