LongHorn Ironman 70.3 Triathlon Festival - Triathlon1/2 Ironman

Good position for the start. Tried drafting but the water was to murky to really catch on with anyone

Not much that could be improved upon.

Very crowded at the bike mount area. Someone shifted me into my biggest gears so the getting going was kind of challenging.

Make sure bike is in low (easy) gear before leaving transition

drank my 1 liter of water and refilled and drank it 4 times on the course. Overall course was very crowded with lots of passing throughout.

pack and eat more nutrition. Felt weak towards the end of the run and felt like i could have eaten more on the bike.

Clean T2.

nothing really. Took some time to get socks/shoes on b/c of laces.

Hot run on paved surface. started overheating towards the end. got pretty tired on the uphills towards the second half of the run.

take more of the electratabs at the end of the bike and start of the run.

he he he. yeah right.


overall training and nutrition. Could have pushed the bike harder but would have suffered on the run. overall i think i went as fast as possible based on my current weight and level of training.


Overall it was a great race. Volunteers were plentiful and helpful with great attitudes. Aid stations were very plentiful. Well marked course. Very organized and efficient. Would highly recommend this race to anyone looking to do a 1/2 Ironman!
