Grand Columbian Triathlon - Iron Distance - TriathlonFull Ironman

It was my best swim of my life!! Heart rate low & steady

Pick it up a little, I didn't try hard enough....and I should have tried to pull past that pack I was in

I had to pee...I was quite dizzy, I fluffed around & should have gone faster but I was so excited that I was in much before I expected!!!

focus more...pee in my wetsuit!!!

I had three flat tires, not enough tubes on the bike, and I lost my pump. It was challenging that way because I lost two hours, but I never gave up, so that was good. It all came together in the end.

Make sure I have more tubes & not lose my pump. Otherwise, I thought I put in a very, very good effort.

I don't know how long I took here because I rode around looking for the chip mat...I had to reroute because the last part of the course was closed before the cut off time.

Just try harder to make it in on time, which I did...but just in time. I wasn't sure if I was allowed to continue or not, so I just did.

I had nothing left for the run because I had to work very hard the last portion of the bike to get in on time. I did feel like barfing when I ran, so most of this was walking. it was ok though...

Not eat boiled potatoes or drink gatorade. I never trained with them, so not sure why I did that...I had a very upset stomach.

Nothing really, I felt pretty good. And then hung out & waited for my friend to come in, she took 18 hours 15 mintutes, she had a worse day than I did!


my bike...after the first two flats, the 50 mile effort on the hills to make up time was exhausting. The last 8 miles after the last flat was pretty much anaerobic, so nothing left for the run.


I had a great time despite the three flats on the course. I would sign up for this again next year if they offered the full...it might be a little too far to travel for just the half. The volunteers are awesome & they really stick by you, expecially if you're one of the last ones. They are the best volunteers I've come across.
