Ironman 70.3 Muncie - Triathlon1/2 Ironman

Had a really good swim, went totally to plan. Came out of water @34:00 and had a good jog up the hill to transition

nothing

decent T1, nothing great. swam without top on, had it stuck a bit and someone helped me out getting it unstuck

nothing

Good ride. Came out easy and built it up. Nice to have a tailwind heading north first before coming around for a long ride into a head/cross wind. Once we hit the turn west tail wind again, coming back was work but once that turn was made hit 22-37 mph most of the way back up. Last few miles a bit hilly, had plenty of gas to work those to come into T2

nothing on bike, felt really comfortable. however, nutrition here may have screwed up my run?

Had a good T2, dismount was crowded, had to plow through a bit getting off bike.

nothing, perfect.

Disaster. Miles 1-3 went well, avg. about 8:00 and was planning to kick it up after 2nd right turn at second aide station. Stomach cramps came on like a demon, it was hell. Started with running to aide station to walk, then last 8 miles I hit each portojohn, nothing was working itself out. Finally was run/walking last 6 miles. I KNEW I could run, had the energy but when I'd go 400 yrds the cramps almost had be doubled over. Damn.

You'd think after 6 years i would have this figured out. The only thing I can come up with is either too much Perpetum coming into T2, everything eles was training based nutrition.

Sat in cooling tent, I was chewed up.


Nutrition.


I like this race, my ability to execute was the limiting factor.
