Ironman 70.3 Augusta - Triathlon1/2 Ironman

I had a great swim took it wasy to begin with and just set my own pace. I soon found that I was passing people. I swam as close to the bouy as the kayaks would allow! great swim!!

Nothing it was my best swim yet

It took forever to get the wet suit off!! we were in the far corner from the bike out so we had to run the farthest with the bike. I wasn't so concerned about my t times, I just didn't want to forget anything. Right on target time

Be better at getting the wet suit off. It was my first experience wit a full suit and it is much harder to get off than a shortie!!

I felt great on the bike until mile 40. I have been battling a stomach bug picked up from my school and I thought I was over it... I guess not. I also didn't have a solid nutrition plan for the race and I think the effected me a lot. I still felt strong on the bike but took a little pace off to save something for the run. Overall great bike. Right on my target time

Get a nutrition plan for the race. i was confused as to what to eat and when carb.. how much, no protein, all protein?? I had no problems i training no matter what I ate... Something to work on or next year.

Took too long, it was wet and I took my time getting all my gels and everything I needed for the run..

be faster!!

I felt great until mile 4.5 then my stomach caught up with me.. I got really bad cramps and had to walk run.. Had a GREAT cheering section and that kept me going. Finished the last 1.5 strong and screamed/yelled all the way down the finishing chute.. I was ecstatic to finish.. Went straight through and puked in a storm drain on the other side of the fence.. Physically and emotionally exhausted. But i was HAPPY!!!

Try not to have a stomach bug. figure out a better nutrition plan.

had some pizza a beer and met my wife and the great friends that had come from Atlanta to support me. I am so thankful that they came. i appreciate it more than they will ever know. it was an important day for me.. 4 years and -60 lbs in the making.


stomach.. body felt fine.


Thia has been a great experience. i followed the BT 20 week HIM training plan and it was the best decision I have ever made. i was ready lost the 20lbs I needed to and found a lot of fitness. I enjoyed the training as much or more than the race. I would highly recommend.. NOW A NUTRITION PLAN!!

Great race for me, 2 years ago I never thought it would happen. This will not be my last HIM.
