My wife just ran her first 70.3 a couple of weeks ago. She did really well, given the circumstances. However, the guy who won the whole thing had an average mile pace of 5:30... after swimming 1.2 miles and then biking 56 miles in a torrential downpour. His finishing time was 3hr45min. Absolutely fucking mental.
