Half Vermont Journey - Triathlon1/2 Ironman

Started swallowing a lot of water on the second lap after colliding with a couple people. Felt good though I think I managed to hold a good clip at this distance, very happy with the swim.

Navigate a little better

Took my time and still managed to put a pretty good T1 time up. Wetsuit got stuck on the feet but not too bad. Mounted pretty decently too, first time mounting in a race with the shoes on the bike still.

More practice with the wetsuit removal and mounting.

Once I got on the bike I started having some GI issues, not sure from what exactly. Couldn't have anything except for water on the bike. I felt like I did very well on this course averaging 19mph which I thought was going to be a struggle. Spent time on the majority of the downhills trying to recover a bit and hammered the hills, worked very well, passed people going up hill and managed to hold them off on the downhills (excpet for a few that were a little bigger than me).

Change my breakfast or not swallow water on the swim, the lack of nutrition would hurt me later, don't believe it effected my bike at all though.

Took my time again and had a good time again. Stretched the legs real quick and was off. No complaints on this.

Nothing.

This hurt a lot. Definitely finding that running is my weakness. The lack of nutrition during the race hurt this leg a lot. Was able to finally start putting some stuff in the stomach at around mile 5 but by then it was too late, the damage was already done. Somehow found some energy to finish the last mile strong.

No more GI problems!! Need more nutrition big time, was actually feeling hungry by the end of the run.

Water, laying in the grass, stretching.


No nutrition on the bike hurt the run.


Good race, the course was challenging but not too hard. It was relentless right from the beginning and didn't let up. Tested me physically and mentally the whole time.
