Ironman Canada - TriathlonFull Ironman

Totally clear swim. It is worth starting in my preferred spot to avoid the thrashing.

Swim faster :)

Needed a bathroom break after the swim. Decided to wear a cycling jersey and cycling shorts on the bike in order to carry enough Infinit. Took a little longer to get the jersey and then I ripped off the number from one side.

Wear a race belt and buy an behind the seat water bottle holder. That way I can wear the race jersey. I also need to try another brand of race shorts.

Thought I was riding faster. Flet very comfortable on the bike. Took salt and thought I was drinking enough. Climbed well for the first time in an Ironman.

Had two bottles of Infinit at the speacial needs area. Also took two Tylenol Extra Strength at the top of Yellow Lake.

Push a little harder. Drink more and take more salt.

Did a complete clothing change. Struggled to get the race jersey on and had to find vaseline. Needed another bathroom stop before exiting T2

Clothing again. Need to explore what I can where for the whole race

Well that was interesting. Started the run feeling great and just had to slow down to keep the HR in the correct zone. Handled the first 10K easily and then my thighs became really sore I suffered for the rest of the race.I consumed two salt tabs ever 30 min and two Tylenol every hour. It did not help. I also had a lot of trouble with fluid. Stopped to go three times with no luck. Must have cost me 4-5 minutes. I also cramped three times from Skaha to the finish. The last time was with a mile of the clock and I had to walk for at least 10 min.

Try and figure out how to run off the bike. Also need to get the nutrition, fluid ingestion and salt thing figure out.

Limped to the med tent and had the HR and BP checked as I was really shaky


Fluid, and salt intake. I felt strong at the end of the race but my legs were to sore to push


Officated turn a blind eye to drafting and blocking.
