Coach BK of BK Coaching and Ironman Triathlete Nelson Rodriguez chat about Ironman Arizona. This is an excellent race as a first time ironman race and to the newer to triathlon athletes. KEY POINTS Swim: Self seeding rolling start in Temp Town Lake which looks like a canal. Athletes enter the water off a metal type dock The water temp is usually cooler with sleeveless wetsuits being just fine Bike: 3 loop course with 2577 ft of gain Wind can pick up later in the day and turn into a head wind Roads are great and the support is excellent Run: 2 loop course that is flat Just about the entire course is on pavement, which is very unforgiving The run has zero shake so make sure to understand how to protect yourself from the sun and heat
