Memorial Hermann Ironman 70.3 Texas - Triathlon1/2 Ironman

Not too shabby considering I cant swim in a straight line, the waves were slapping me around, and I drank a lot of salt water.

nothing... note for future: earplugs worked like a charm. Felt good coming out of the water. No dizziness.

Yep, I suck at transitions... just took my time to make sure I didn't forget anything.

Probably nothing. The transition area was huge. For a race this distance, it's worth a few extra minutes to not kill myself in transition and not forget anything.

Did better than I expected.

Practice nutrition more. My body wouldnt take anything the last 10 miles.

Once again, take my time and make sure I dont forget anything... I also made a quick potty stop.

Stomach felt slushy at the start. Maybe too much water on the bike? Bonked out around mile 3... nashty cramp, heart rate through the roof. I had to run/walk the last 7 miles. Also, the stuff I was counting on being on the course was not as advertised...
Compression calf sleeves on bike and run worked well.


Not sure. My stomach just wouldnt take anything...

lay on ground. one bite on pizza, but stomach didnt want any of that! Waddle to transition, get clothes bag & bike and back to hotel for power nap. Probably gonna regret not taking ice bath...


Probably just wasnt quite ready for this distance... but I still finished MOP


Great organization. Some of the stuff listed in the guide was not correct... ex: orange gatorade on bike course (it was lemon lime) and there was no coke on run course (it was pepsi... and wasnt de-fizzed).
Overall, great race though!
