Wow! What an amazing time I had in Tenby! By Steven Owen.

 

I have never experienced anything like it ever before! This was by far the biggest and toughest race I have ever done before and despite last minute nerves on the morning, I loved every minute, even when I was feeling depleted on the bike and run! 

 

Now I have done it, I am left wondering what event will be next and what could possibly compare to the amazing atmosphere and challenge of Ironman Wales


*Action photos from last weekend's event.

  



Never before have I experienced an epic swim start like IMW, experienced so many supporters in towns, villages and rural areas around Pembrokeshire, climbed hills like Wiseman’s Bridge or Heartbreak Hill in Saundersfoot with thousands of supporters in the road cheering you on, and most of all never looked at race photos and seen a smile on almost every single photo (well most anyway)!

A big thank you to Rhian from Triroxtraining for the support on the Ironman Plan and Elsa for the SwimFit sessions focussed towards our plans and not forgetting our other GOG Triathlon Club athletes and supporters who made it so much more fun becoming an Ironman! 

 

Most of all, I have to thank Valeria and Caitlin for being supportive of all the work I have put into this since January. I am not sure I would have managed this without their help!
