2019 70.3 Ohio Kick Off Thread
Welcome to your official 2019 race thread! This will be home for you and your fellow teammates who are competing (and have competed) to train, learn and share with one another.
You’ll find lots of historical information here in this forum, and you can search above or use the main forum page. But it’s just as important to add your information from this year -- your workouts, volume weekends, race plans, highs and lows...it’s all here.
Race Captain - We Need One
Ideally your event has a race captain to lead by sharing their training and generally being a really awesome, supportive person online. If you have one, their name is ^above^ … If not, you can request to become the Race Captain via email here (just remember to tell us the race you want to lead). You’ll get a free month of EN membership and some other cool stuff as our way of saying thanks.
We have a basic schedule to support the Race Captain, you can view it here and it’s not a ton of work. Even if you don’t have a race captain, you can all use that schedule to make sure You are connecting around the critical parts of your season.
Looking for Your Fellow Racers?
Sometimes the hardest part of getting the community around a race started is finding your fellow racers! You can do that via our Race Database (online here, password is WORKWORKS) where you can search by race name such as “Placid,” etc. Once you have a list of names, you can use the “@” sign to tag them here in this thread (so they are notified) or you can send them a private message via the Forums as well.
GroupMe Chat
If you are looking for your Race GroupMe, you can search our official GroupMe page online here. Can’t find the GroupMe because There isn’t one for your race? You can request we make one for you via email here.
Have Questions or Need Help?
No worries, we’re here to help! You can send us an email right here so we can help you out. Please be sure to reference your race forum and give as much detail as possible.

Hi team! I am coming back for my 3rd year at IM70.3 Ohio with my hubby! We relay this event but have done it 2 of the 3 years since its inception in 2016. If you have any questions let me know and I am happy to help provide answers as I know many of the support people for the race and am familiar with the area and course.
I love this race especially now that they moved it from August to July in 2017. It is a really fun event and the course is great! Awesome support and it has the same RD as Syracuse, so he tried to include the elements that made that race so popular - including finishing the race around the track of the football field in the College stadium.
Do not let the 2 transition area dissuade you - it is super well run and they make it very easy to navigate.
Looking forward to meeting and cheering on some teammies come July!
