The harder I work, the luckier I get

GARY PLAYER

I thought I would do an Ironman Hamburg race recap, even though it was a DNF for me.

I always try to keep it as real as possible, so I hope this recap gives you some insight into the highs and lows of being a professional triathlete. 

After a very long week of travel hiccups and disappointment, we finally arrived in one of my favourite places in the world. We will be based in St. Moritz for the 2.5 months. 

Due to Covid, I haven’t been to St. Moritz since 2019, so arriving here brought back a smile to my face. I have such good memories of past training camps here, I know the village and the training routes like the back of my hand, and I’ve always found an extra level of calm and focus because it’s such a beautiful and peaceful place. 

After a couple more days off, I feel very motivated and excited to start my next big block of training on Monday.

Travel to Hamburg & Race Week

Probably the most annoying trip to Europe I’ve ever had with lots of little things going wrong including a lost bike for 24 hours!

Plenty of ups and downs in this one including some grumpy moods, some tears and as always, some laughs.

We finally made it to Hamburg and after a busy few days I’m ready for my second Ironman in 2022

Arrival in Hamburg - Ironman European Championship | Renee Kiley #bebetter
YouTube Video VVVQZ0RJbEFCNFhqSnZOVFhIRXdLMWN3LkdqdTRIQzZVWTZN
After lots of recommendations, I finally got around to riding to the Grand Canyon (approx. 120km from Flagstaff). My session was a 4 hour bike ride with some long intervals, and I ended the day with a 1 hour easy run off the bike, running around the edge of the Grand Canyon. I am so happy I got to do this before I left, it was incredible and a really fun day!

What’s next? 
If you’ve ever wondered what the decision making process is for a professional athlete when trying to choose a race, I share my thoughts on how I ended up choosing Ironman Hamburg. I also share some of the unexpected challenges and travel related stress we experienced earlier in the week. Now we are back on track and (we hope!) the next episode will be on our travel adventures and the race week lead up in Hamburg, Germany.

First World Championship as a pro and the toughest Ironman I’ve ever done yesterday (although we say that after every one right? 😆)

So happy with 14th and punching my ticket to kona which was the dream goal for this race. 

Full race recap including plans for the next few days and the next race! 🏁

Ironman World Championship Equipment Choices | Renee Kiley #bebetter

I’ve been here in St George, Utah for a week now, which has allowed me to swim, bike, run and get familiar with the entire World Championship course.

We’ve captured so much video footage of the course over the last week for socials, that we thought we’d put it to good use (we hope!) and provide a detailed course recon for those who are just curious of the course or for athletes, support crews and spectators who may not arrive in time to check it all out pre race.  

Swim course 1:24
Bike course 3:38
Run course 16:56

Let us know what you think of the course in the comments.

1 week to go!

I often get asked how many hours a week I train, and I always find it difficult to answer because swim, bike, run is only 75% of the job. 

In comparison to when I was working full time and running a business, I definitely dedicate more hours per week to being a professional triathlete (especially when you average it out over a year).

I hope this video gives you some insight into the other bits and pieces that I get up to outside of swim, bike, run.
