Miguel raced his first race after his horrible crash in January that left him with a broken collarbone, shattered scapula, and a couple fractured ribs. Ironman 70.3 Chattanooga was an utter success. He went in with no expectations and a "race to place" mindset, then landed himself with a P7 finish in the money. A pretty spectacular day just five months back from being couch-ridden for weeks.

While he raced, Jenna and Alex Leandri sprinted no less than 10 miles around the course, sweated profusely, and Jenna finished the day completely electrolyte-depleted. She has decided, just now while writing this, that Miguel's prize winnings are also going to help fund the purchase of a Camelbak backpack for the next race, so she can be just as prepared and hydrated as Alex was.

This was a fun one to race, spectate, film, edit, and relive again. Hope you enjoyed it as much as we did :)

    I have watched probably alllll of your videos. You seem like you are in the best shape that I’ve ever seen and it’s showing through the way you are carrying yourself. I was at the race and saw you on the way to the swim but I could see you were in your zone so I didn’t say anything. You crushed it and I’m extremely happy for you! Congrats and keep going man!
