Erica Hawley To Compete In First 70.3
Bermuda triathlete Erica Hawley will compete in the Ironman 70.3 La Quinta near Palm Springs, California, on Sunday [December 7].
It will be the Olympian’s first 70.3 race.
“It feels a little weird being a rookie in a sport I’ve been part of for ten years, but I’m so excited to take on this new distance,” Hawley said.
“Huge thanks to coach Jessica West for experimenting with a new training plan, Tour de Franc for all things bike and cooking, and Jason West for the tri knowledge! Let’s do this Bermuda.”
The race starts with a 1.9km single-loop swim in Lake Cahuilla.
The single-loop 90km bike course is flat and fast, while the two-loop run course takes in the Silver Rock Golf Resort.
