EagleMan Ironman 70.3 Triathlon - Triathlon1/2 Ironman

Start seemed w\fairly wide open until the 1st bouy. It opened up after that and everything went well. I did get stung in the face by a jelly which freaked me out for a bit. Water was choppy after the last bouy which may have slowed me down. Good swim overall.

A little slower than I wanted but I wanted make sure I had everything.

Speed it up.

1st 40 miles were great. I was near 21 mph w/o much effort. I thought I could avg. over 20 but I figured the bottom had to drop out sooner or later. Enter Eygpt Rd.....wow that was hateful. That slowed the pace down the rest of the ride. Still happy with the ride...15 min. faster than my best. (New bike helps too.)

Nothing

I'm OK with this. Just have to speed it up.

Went out too fast for the 1st 2+ miles (8 min). I felt bad at mile 4 so stopped for pee break and really hit the gatorade and water. Ice down the front of the shirt helped. I did not feel better until the turnaround. Running pace was ok after that but I walked the aid stations. Last 2 miles were much better and I passed a lot of people. Finshed strong but in the end I was 7-10 min. slower than I wanted to be.

Slow down at the start.

Drank a beer. Yum.


Slow down at the start of the run.


I PRed my HIM time by 2 minutes which is cool but I wanted to go under 5:30 which I think I should have done. The race itself was awesome. I will do it again this year. It was also good that TriDelaware had a strong showing. I think there were 15 of us there. We just need a better tent!
