 Run
Comments: Pretty much last but wasn't concerned! Kept hr around 130 1st 1.5 miles then slowly allowed it to drift up to 138/140. What would you do differently?: Probably nothing...  Transition 1
Comments: Tried to stay calm and not get too hyped up..went to go #1.Time could've been a bit better.... What would you do differently?: Peed in my wetsuit had we swam!!! But whatcha gonna do??  Bike
Comments: Stomach was really not wanting much the last 1/2 of the 2nd loop. Had to force down my last energy bar. Wind was kicked up a bit on the 2nd loop and my taint was on fire. My favorite race shorts just got demoted!Never had a problem with them @the oly distance, so I didn't think much of it. Told myself all the way back on the 2nd loop how great I always feel at the end off a long ride after I've ran about 1/2 a mile. HAHA HA HA HAHA!!!! Not the case today!!!! LOL!! What would you do differently?: Wore my race shorts on a few long rides. Could've drank a bit more but was forcing things down as it was. Transition 2
Comments: Was really trying to get focused here and get my mind right! All I could hear was 13 miles???? But I got settled in, the run is my favorite, anyway. What would you do differently?: Not much, could've hurried up a bit more.... Run
Comments: Was digging deep, the cold had got my feet on the bike and my feet were killing me from the start of the run. I really tried to take mental breaks during and enjoy the scenery off the venue and the planes coming into Sky Harbor. I ran into to Toby on the course and he picked me up at a dark time, I was struggling with some cramps and was thirsty but my stomach wasn't havin' it!!! I got to mile ten and said time to put the gas the rest of the way to the floor, oh, I guess this is it!!! LOL!!! had a lil bit off push left but not much. I just kept telling myself, this is gonna happen!!!! Once I got past the turnaround, I could feel it!! This WAS gonna happen!!! What would you do differently?: Probably do a better job off removing negative thoughts in a more timely fashion. I didn't realize how heavy they would come on!!! I could be being hard on myself here but, I do need to work on that. Felt I did great the last few races on that, but those last few races weren't 1/2 iron distance!!!! At the end of the day, I was pleased, to a degree, with my run! Post race
Warm down: Walked around and then got a stretch and a rubdown in.... Tried to drink some...Man, I was dehydrated more than I realized til I left and stopped to eat. What limited your ability to perform faster: Base, base and more BASE!!!! Event comments: Best volunteers at any race I've been to. Like Red Rock Company, all the courses were well marked.

Got up and ate some brown rice farina cereal, drank a cup of oj and then started up on some water....Had an hr drive ahead of me so I left around 3:45 so I could park and be in transition by 5:00. Talked to some people around my bike area and got some great advice! Met up with Wade and Patrick in transition then headed over to the start and met up with Todd and Wade. Had a delay of 15 minutes or so due to an accident on the bike course that had all 4 lanes blocked off.
Thought warm thoughts as it was cold!
