Miami Man 1/2 Iron Triathlon - Triathlon1/2 Ironman

had a pretty good swim ran into a few lost ass people who was way off course and had to pause to let them go the wrong direction so i had a clear path. some reason on the second lap with about 100 yards to go, things got really packed. as i picked up the breast stroke i got 2 bad charlie horse in left calf and hamstring at the same time slowed the finish up a bit

thought about 3 Endurolytes and a Anti Fatigue Cap before swim, now wish i would have had them.

T1 went good, thought it was slower then it was cause as i was putting the endurolytes and anti fatigue caps in back pocket of shirt i took a few to maybe help with the cramps

nothing went well

not to much kinda what i was expecting for the farm lands of Dade county

use the winds more, either tail or cross winds, feel like i should have pushed it harder and relaxed more into the wind

things went really good seemed to be in and out like i wanted

crams came back with the rising temps, quads was getting pretty bad at points. had a great first lap and things caught up to me come the second. did have a good 7 miles. parts was off road and had rocks and grass trails. played hell on the Newtons

should have packed more endurolytes and fatigue caps for the run, ran out just at the end. had it been longer i was in major trouble i think

just training, i had the right idea with the time i had of 2 1/2 months but needed more speed work on bike and maybe a few more longer bricks. but for just getting back from the desert and a 2 year deployment it was what i expected


this ended up being a good and fun race. I would say if you ben thinking of doing it , go for it you wont regret it. i missed this race in 09 because of deployment but really happy i made the choice while still in the desert to give it a go. even with no bike or much to train on i had fun and if im in the country next year when its race day i will be back
