Comments: I'm an average long course athlete. I have completed 4 70.3 Ironman branded races with my PR at 6:32. I'm also a 2x Ironman finisher. I was pulled from the course in T2 for not meeting their 4 hour bike course cut-off. There were 12 women that started...only 4 were allowed on the run course. The run is my strongest event, and I wasn't allowed on the run course even with more than two and a half hours to complete the run before the run course closed. I have run several sub-2hr half marathons...I could have easily finished the course.
The finisher times for the 4 ladies that finished ranged from 6:13 to 7:02.
PLEASE THINK TWICE BEFORE REGISTERING FOR A HALF DISTANCE EVENT THROUGH 3 DISCIPLINES!!!!!
