LongHorn Ironman 70.3 Triathlon Festival - Triathlon1/2 Ironman

Very choppy water, given the conditions, I am pretty happy with the swim. I got of course once. I don't think it was by much, so I don't think it effected my time much. I did get a leak in my left side of goggles due to someone's foot.

Little better sighting

I used strippers! That was worth the entire race. Considering I meant to take my time, this time was better than expected

I wanted to ride in under 2:45, so mission accomplished. I finished an entire 10 minutes faster than last year. I drank a little to much while on the bike though. The best thing about this ride was keeping my cadence under control!

Not drink as much

I totally spaced and forgot to take my feet out of my shoes, so the dsmount line caught me off guard and I had to unclip and run with my bike shoes. So, my plan was take a nice relaxing T2, no hurry, so I did not hurry whats so over!

Maybe rush a little.

My worst event. Though I ran 30 minutes faster than last year. My goal was complete the course in under 2 hours. The first mile marker I hit at 8:30, then my time started slipping about 20 seconds every mile until mile 7. At that point I could not mentally block my impending doom of the porta-potty. I had to deal with some runner's trots for a few minutes. Now, I could use the following as a victory or failure, I survived the diarrhea and managed to fight off really bad leg cramping and still finish the race, or I can say my bathroom visit is what cost my my 12 minutes.

I am not sure, I have to say my run disappointment had more to do with nutrition than being physically fit.

Died! Said hi to my friends, drank some water, ate two tacos, half a bottle of water and left.

In all, much better performance this year than last. Improved on the bike and run!


Still trying to figure out the correct nutrition balance


I love this race!
