As my lead up to Ironman Australia, Port Macquarie in May, I have signed up for Ironman 70.3 Putrajaya. The race date is during the Easter weekend, which suited me perfectly as I do not need to take that many annual leave days for the travel.
For those of you wishing to progress to the half iron distance, this is the perfect race course to make your debut. The swim takes place in calm waters of the Putrajaya Lake. Fast and flat bike course on wide, open roads with smooth surfaces. A couple of short inclines but these are great to sit up and give your posture a break from crouching down on the aerobars. Finishing the race with a shaded run course through Putrajaya wetlands.
The discounted entry is ending at the end of this month, so do hurry!
