Second, I had hip pain mid-summer which an MRI diagnosed as a precursor to a stress fracture. Early detection avoided the later, but it did limit my "running" in August to the elliptical. For 2020, my goal is to re-qualify for and return to Kona. I'm officially registered for the IRONMAN North American Championship at St.George, UT (May 2, 2020).
