  • Overall course based on my ability: Just right

  • Comments: Awesome race, awesome experience. One of the few races that matches the energy and experience of an Ironman. Camping adds a level of difficulty, but my wife had a great time with it. Be prepared for the climbing, and the heat.

  • Comments: I had fun at Wildflower, but it was not my best race. I felt very flat and under-trained, especially on the run. It felt as I have not been running. My legs were not sore or tired. I did not over-bike (I have done that before - not fun). I was also really slow on the first 2.2 mile run. The weather was perfect - for me! :-) I love the heat. I was hot, but not too hot. I was comfortable. I wore my aero helmet (practice for Louisville). It was good to know that I am still fine in the heat. I hate the cold, but do well with heat. Nutrition - perfect! Had it down for the bike and the run. Took in lots of extra water. Everyone seemed to take salt tabs or electrolights. I have never tried these. I know Mike takes them. I never felt like I needed them. Will they do anything for me? I don't seem to sweat lots of salt. I don't cramp. Just curious if this is something I need. HR - I put on the HR monitor in transition before the bike. Didn't have it on for the 2.2
