IM TX 70.3 - Galveston

Finish Strong Coaching looked awesome with 28 triathletes at the Ironman Texas 70.3 in Galveston on Sunday, April 26.  The swim was not wet suit legal, so everyone did a great job adjusting mentally and physically to the last minute change.  Bob Bailey noted it was his furthest distance swim in non-wet suit.  Then athletes had rain on the bike with some wind on the return and of course  the sun came out in time for the run making it hot and steamy.  Nonetheless, Finish Strong athletes prevailed. Good prep for those doing IM TX.  Congrats to Dana Lyons and Kent Morris for their 2nd and 3rd AG podium finish. Many PRs including Jeanette's amazing 45 minute PR!
