“The most beautiful 70.3, I have ever done and yes, it should be on your bucket list.”…As Coach Sami finishes #27. A 56 degree Pacific Ocean swim (and you could hear the seals); to 56 mile beautiful hilly ride; topped off with a 13.1 amazing and (hilly) run along the coast with the turn around at an amazing cliffside view.
