Coeur's (not so) Secret Tips for Ironman Arizona

 

Hands making heart symbol

Swim Tip: It’s pretty well known that the lake curves a bit. Some competitors like to start on the left and follow the buoys and many/most others like to stay to the right to try and cut off some of the course. One suggestion is to (sshh…don’t tell) stay in the middle. You might get some surprisingly clear water. No promises though.

 

Swim Tip: The swim exit is usually up a set of stairs. It always seems like it is one stair short. Plus, the water can be a bit murky, so the stairs can be somewhat hard to see. Maybe this isn't really a tip. More of a warning. Just be careful getting out. There...now it's a tip.

IMAZ Coeur-se review

 Course Review – Ironman Arizona

Ironman Arizona (“IMAZ”) has a unique place on the Ironman Circuit.  It was originally an early season race that was held in April.  Despite the flat’ish terrain, it was an absolute terror.  Temperatures frequently soared into the high 90’s, winds howled and sand storms of haboob caliber were known to rise up on the Beeline highway. 

Mercifully, the organizers moved the date to November and now it is a race of a different flavor.  Rather than a sand encrusted death march, it now viewed as a great venue for your first assault on the distance or an opportunity to set a new PR.

But don’t for a minute think it is easy.  It is still an Ironman and 140.6 miles is a long ways even in a car!

So with that as a backdrop, let us give you our thoughts on the course. By the way, we have a few semi-secret tips that we can share.  Shoot us a note at info@coeursports.com and put IMAZ tips in the title.  We’ll be glad to send them your way.

One Coeur-ageous Athlete

We looked over to our left and happened to see one of the Challenged Athlete Foundation ("CAF") competitors in her race chair.  She was a petite woman and was at a dead stop about halfway up a hill.  For the most part no one was watching and it was apparent that her arms were about to give out.  Before I go on to tell the rest of this, I have to just say that I have re-written this next section twice and I just can't find the words to convey how incredible, inspiring, emotional and moving we found this to be.

A report from Kona FAN-tastic

A well written account of Kona from the perspective of an Iron Fan!

Days before the Kona race, we all went to see the practice swim and laughed our heads off at the UNDERPANTS RUN.

Day of the race, we all got up at 4AM to go with them to registration. I don’t know if we were support team, entourage or both….but we were there as a functioning unit. Communication was key - between both moms, and dad and brother/brother-in-law and phone calls to those left on the mainland to report “she’s out of the water”; “he had a great transition time”; “just saw her on the bike – she looks great”…..communication was as streamlined and tight and concise as any military unit on a mission.
