Ironman 70.3 Muncie - Triathlon1/2 Ironman

Pretty solid swim. I was pleased with my patience early on, never wen't anaerobic, did a great job of drafting and finding feet. Was only solo for about 200 meters on the way back in. Very difficult sighting coming back in because of the sun, but I managed to stay close to people and pretty close to the buoys.

Not much

My earpiece fell off of my helment in transition, wasted time trying to get it on before I finally just pulled the other one off. I also put on socks and calf sleeves to help reduce the rubbing that I've been experiencing in my shoes and to help support my aching left calf.

Wear my sleeves in to the water so that I don't have to put them on in transition and buy a better aero helmet

My bike surpassed my expectations. I thought I would average between 20 and 20.5 mph and to avg over 21 and still feel very comfortable gives me hope that I can go faster.

Not much.

I had a great transition. Top 50 transitions overall.

Nothing

Fastest Ametuer Run Split of the day. I was a little bummed I didn't have the fastest split overall, but the pro's didn't run in the heat of the day, thus my excuse for not being able to out run them. This was actually my biggest let down of the day b/c I felt I should be able to run a 1:15 off of the bike, even on a hilly course. The heat did get to me though. Thought I was going to redline with 2 miels to go and had to back off so that I could make it in.

Not run in the heat of the day.....

Swam in the reservoir with Myles.


The Heat.


Great race to do as my first Ironman 70.3. Close to home! Worst thing was the heat which in July, what do you expect
