Ironman 70.3 San Juan - Triathlon1/2 Ironman

I was nice and relaxed - except for when someone shoved my head under and held it there - not a good feeling - that was the only part that I breast stroked - recovering from that incident. I sighted better than I usually do at least for the first half - seemed to drift more the last leg after the turns.. Current picked up especially as we headed to the bridge and under it. Enjoyed the swim!

become a better swimmer! Noah said he could spot me in the pack of 30 I was in due to my "unique" stroke. I really am like a drowning turtle

long run from swim exit to transition and I took my sweet time to apply sunscreen and get set - but still managed to not get my right shoe straps on!

Bike felt good - whole day was hot and sunny except for when it DELUGED as I was nearing the turn around for the second lap and it was the tropical rain forest rain. Headwinds were tough.
I did nail nutrition. water in the aerobottle filled many times - skratch labs in the down tube bottle. Ate 1.5 bonk breaker bars and 2 gus.
Roads were so rough that my aerobottle kept dislodging from the very heavy velcro! and then about 10 miles from the finish my Garmin Edge 705 flew off. Took me about 5 minutes of walking around to find it. Got it back on, and then less than a mile from finish, as we turned off of one highway it flew off into traffic. no more garmin. no data.

not lose my garmin

took the time to reapply sunscreen - still got burned!

death march

train. oh and NEVER eat part of gu without water present.

got pizza and beer and sat


lack of run and bike fitness
