From Phoenix, Arizona this is your day three race recap of Ultraman Arizona 2023.  Find the Day 1 & 2 Recap here.  Unfortunately, Jen McVeay was busy with her duties as race director and was unable to contribute to this recap.

What a day three it was.  It lived up to the hype, producing a new World Record time for the 33 year old Max Kniazev.

There will be one more Special Edition episode available in this series when I speak with Max and the women's champion Cythnia Bartus.   Direct Link here.

Ultraman Arizona 2023 takes place from March 17 - 19.  I have returning to the podcast, race director, Jen McVeay, and the 515 announcer extraordinaire, Steve King to preview the athletes competing in this year's race. 

It is a smaller field with just 3 women and 19 men, but some great athletes will be vying to set the official race records in their respective age groups and overall, as last year’s race (the inaugural) had to cancel the swim due to poor water conditions.

Join us as we discuss the resumes of these Ultra athletes so you know who to follow through the race socials for updates.
