Ironman USA Lake Placid - TriathlonFull Ironman

First 200m performance was only average for me because I felt that with all the people it was hard to have a normal performance in the start of this race for me.

try to stay outside a little more instead of pulling the line

Wetsuit stripper sucked and that is why my suit got stuck on my heels. Long transition since we had to run about 200yards before getting to change tent. Transition went smooth. Got out on bike and felt good.

Pick a better stripper!!!

No/Little wind on first loop, picked up on second loop.

Sun was a hot sucker!!!!! Probably should have reapplied more often.

Nutrition: 3 bottles cytomax/SE, 2 servings Clif Shot Bloks, 2 Tri3Bar cocoa crunch, cpl oranges and water

try to pace a little better on first loop so I could have a negative split but it was also a change of mother nature with increased wind.

Felt like crap on first loop. Legs weren't quite there, had a headache and was trying to get in proper nutrition. Took ibprofen at around mile 5, helped everything including headache and by end of first loop was feeling much better.

Nutrition: 24oz Cytomax, pretzels, oranges, water and gatorade. Took salt tab at some point that I convinced another male runner to let me have.

I don't think there is anything because each race is a little different and based on previous experiences I had what I needed but I ended up needed more salt because of the weather and heat.

Look for my lost fiance!!!!!
Oh yeah and had some water and a slice of pizza as well.

In case you don't already know, Hudnick was in the med tent and they kept telling us that he was gone.


Racing in France 7 days earlier.


Great race. Would do again just not soon.
