Revolution3 Full Distance - TriathlonFull Ironman

The lake was so calm compared to friday and saturday. I was so pleasantly surprised!!! At the start I stayed towards the back to prevent getting mowed down, kicked, or punched. Worked out pretty well. I felt really good other than my navigation kinda sucked.

I enjoyed the split course and actually met my goal of getting the swim done in 1:30.

navigate better

I wanted to completely change b/c it was cold out. I was surprised that there were women in the changing tent that were so cold that they weren't moving, just sitting there w/ a blanket. It was cold, but not that cold.

I felt good w/ this transition.

nothing, it would be nice if they had wetsuit pealers

It was 112miles of the same road I've been riding. My stomach was uncomfortable for the first 3ish hours. I think it was from the lake water I swallowed. I also had to stop Q hr for the first three hours to go pee. I can't pee on the bike! Sick! After that I was able to take more water and nutrition.

Nothing. Other than I wish I didn't have to stop and pee so many times.

Only changed my top and shoes. Left my tri shorts on. Talked w/ some nice ladies in the chaging tent and they decided to lounge for a bit. I wanted this race DONE so I left.

Nothing

Felt really good to start. I was so looking forward to the run all day!! I think I started to fast. I tried to keep it under 9:30, but I was hitting 8:40s in the beginning. I ran con't till about mile 19 and then I had to take some walking breaks. I would run a mile then walk abit, run a mile then walk a bit till about mi 23. Then I was walking more like half mile run half mile walk. I did run the last 1.2mi into the park. I was so happy that I was at the end that I wasn't stopping. I ran into the gates and saw all my family and I couldn't believe that I finished an ironman!!!!!

Maybe run slower, but I wouldn't change really anything:)

Umm... Sat on a chair next to Laurie the RN. She wouldn't let me get up for like 10 min! haha... Talked w/ my family, Josh and Maria, and of course my wonderful husband Dan!!!!!!


My lack of training. In my heart I know I skipped some workouts and I could have done more weight training, speed training, etc... but in the end I finished w/ a smile and that was my goal!!


I loved this event. Cedar Point is a great venue for an IM and I was just so lucky that it is in my backyard!!!! I have so many great memories from this day and I will never forget it!
