What Is a Triathlon?

A triathlon is a race with 3 sports and 5 sections you are timed on. First you swim, then you bike and then you run. You are timed separately on the length of your swim, how fast you get to your bike and on it, the bike ride, how fast you get to your run gear, and the speed of your run. So there are 5 times you are racing, as well as the overall completion time.

Swim 1.9km (1.2miles). Bike 90km (56miles). Run 21.2 km (13.1miles).

Ironman 70.3 races are the most prestigious Triathlon races in the world. Ironman 70.3 World Championship Racers have to qualify from other local 70.3 events they participate in by being the fastest in their age group in those races.

This event is radical for me to attend, as I am invited but did not qualify by age, so I will be competing with some of the most elite triathletes in the world, with only a couple years of experience; and as a para-athlete.

My Gofundme is set to $10,000, however, I'd like to make it to $15-$25,000 so that I crush this race out of the park and come back ready to continue training.

Note: All funds are going into a designated account and can be audited by any contributor upon request. Should you want to donate privately, please find me on Paypal. Christy McLeod. Should more than $25,000 come through, all extra will go to Streetfront, they train high-risk youth to be champions through running 1/2 and Full Marathons - Located in East Vancouver, Canada.
