Also funny that most of the races, especially at the beginning were full of bad roads and too many turns. I understand those were the top 10 that you’ve done. Fair. My favorite of the ones you mentioned and among my all time favorites was St George. I have a few more that maybe I can recommend if I see you in Taupo. I’ll look for you 😊

Hum... well, to be honest of all the ones you listed I have only done St. George (definitely one of my favourites), so you maybe those are better than the ones I've done and certainly appreciate those are the best your've done. Just thought it a bit funny that you mentioned some "not great" aspects some of them, especially I remember the first two where you mentioned bad roads and bad place to swim. Anyways for international 70.3 races I would say Valencia was spectacular, although being the first time last year, there were some organizational aspects that needed to be ironed out. Puerto Rico was super hot and humid, but a good challenge. Campeche was pretty nice, starting the swim in the middle of the day meant doing the run when it starts to cool down a bit, so that was nice. And the finish line downtown is great. Victoria is a bit too far from town and the traffic to get there in the morning is challenging and so is parking, but the race is beautiful. The run in a flat and not too challenging trail through the forest around the lake is stunning, and shaded! I've done a couple of fulls in Sweden and Spain also amazing, but those don't count in the 70.3 ranking. Would be great to compare notes and share experiences in Taupo. I will look for you and definitely say hi if I see you.

      @JuanMartinez-pj7ju - Excellent insight! Puerto Rico could be on the short list soon… but let us all enjoy the beauty here in Taupō 🤗 Hope to see you around.
