They say third time's a charm and that was certainly the case for me with the Miyakojima Triathlon. With a 38-year long history, the All Japan Triathlon Miyakojima Strongman Triathlon (phew!) is one of Japan's OG triathlons. It's also lottery-based, and for the 2024 race, 1,500 athletes were 'accepted' out of the 2,041 applications...

 After a long 4-year hiatus, IM 70.3 Bangsaen 2024 was the third edition of this middle distance triathlon, and my first time to return to the same triathlon. I had had a great time in early 2020 right before the pandemic, and despite the somewhat late notice for registration, I decided to pencil it in as my season opener. Full disclosure, I love Thailand and have spent an inordinate amount of time here since I also used to live in Malaysia and Singapore for over 13 years.
 My first Challenge Family race was a two-day triathlon festival in Taiwan featuring every distance from sprint to full. While the travel logistics were nerve-wracking, the race experience was fantastic and I would absolutely come back.
