 Swim
Comments: First 200 meters went better than expected. Sighting to large tree in distance. Field was to my left. I drifted to the right at each buoy. What would you do differently?: Better navigation. Account for wind/current. Keep swimming through sighting, don't break stroke to look. I got better at this by the end.  Transition 1
Comments: Jog out of water to bike. Decided to use arm warmers for bike. This took an extra 30 seconds to get on. Great idea. I would have been very cold without them. Had to place all items, including wetsuit in marked bag. What would you do differently?: Nothing  Bike
Comments: The initial climbs were not as difficult as I thought based on riding computrainer course. Same with steep climbs. They were hard, but I kept a steady pace. I pedaled downhills, and passed many people here. What would you do differently?: Back off a bit more at the end. I felt fine until I hit the run. Transition 2
Comments: Long run up to racks. I took shoes off and carried them as I ran in socks. What would you do differently?: Nothing  Run
Comments: This was the hardest 13 miles I have ever run. My brain was saying stop at mile 2. I started out with a side ache too. I took electrolytes at each aid station (apx 1 mile) this seemed to help cramping in left quad. Steady pace, body began to recover at mile 8. What would you do differently?: ??? Ease up on the end of the bike? Not quite sure. Post race
Warm down: Had to walk 1 mile to go collect gear from T2. Nice walk Event comments: Very well put together event. I look forward to doing it again. This was my First Half Iron Distance Last updated: 2010-10-18 12:00 AM
