![]() Run
Comments: Ran about like I planned to. Pushed about as well as I could without killing myself. Made sure I'd be able to finish. What would you do differently?: Not much ![]() Post race
Warm down: Water, Gatorade, ate 2 really good hot dogs after the race, figured I'd earned it. Warm down is a relative term, cause the cold wind started dropping my core temp, so decided to jump on a bus and head back to the race start/parking area. What limited your ability to perform faster: Overall fitness, had a hard ride the day before on the Kansas Half Iron bike course. Event comments: Not sure I liked the bus back to the starting area thing, but they did seem to have a pretty good system going. Can't really fault the race organizers for the water on the course or the wind. It appears from several different Garmins that the course was a couple 10ths short. That's kind of a bummer. Still, can't really complain since the race was free w/Ironman Kansas 70.3 sign up. Last updated: 2009-04-19 12:00 AM

The rain was coming down in sheets on the drive from Olathe to Lawrence. Was hoping I wasn't driving there for nothing if the race got canceled. Rain let up about 6:00 and stayed away for the race.
Watered down Gatorade and a Roctane about 20 min before the start.
Ran around the park for ~1/2 mile. Tried to stay warm.
