IRONMAN Maine
The Maine 70.3 runs from Augusta, on the Kennebec River, and the river is the reason the swim is worth a look on its own. Moving water changes the whole feel of a 1,900 m swim, so the exit split will not tell you much about your fitness relative to lake races.
After that it is 90 km on a bike course the organisers call challenging, meaning rolling New England roads rather than mountains, and a 21.1 km run over similar terrain.
Late July in New England is the warmest part of the year, and this far north that means a comfortable morning with a hot middle of the day. The bike is where you decide whether the run is survivable.
The draw is the local support. Kennebec valley towns turn out for this race in numbers that a mid-season regional half has no obligation to produce.
