Wrapped up my first Iron Man 70.3 with @hamdi this past weekend. tl;dr: I came up short in my first Ironman 70.3, earning a DNF (Did Not Finish) during the bike portion of the race. Three hours and 23 minutes in, with less than eight miles to go, the local police pulled me over as they opened traffic back up. I was under the impression I had 4 hours and 30 minutes for the bike—standard for 70.3 races—so I paced myself accordingly, keeping an average heart rate of 110, saving my energy for the run, where I felt strongest. Complaining won’t undo the DNF, but I won’t ignore that I put myself in this position. Full reflection here: https://github.com/zainbacchus/public_blog/blob/main/content/8.%2070.3%20reflections.md

Disappointing DNF at my first Ironman 70.3. Police stop during bike leg cut short my race. Will learn and improve for next time
