Ironman Louisville - TriathlonFull Ironman

I was satisfied with the swim; I thought my performance was pretty good.

I don't think I would have changed anything.

dried off after the swim but my kit did not want to go on my wet skin.

would have been nice to have a full zip jersey instead of the 3/4 zip.

I drank a lot but still felt a little on the dehydrated side by the end of the bike.

I had two bottles in my rear cages. Next time I will leave one open so I can grab a fresh bottle at the aid station for the rear and one to pour in the front.

had to sit down and hydrate a little in T2. It was getting very hot and I needed a little break so recover. Had three cups of water and took my time changing into my tri-shorts and tri-top for the run.

nothing I can think of.

Ran majority of the marathon, with the exception being around miles 17-20 with stomach issues.

Run more in training, though I'm not sure it would have helped me prepare any better.

A volunteer walked me through the finisher area, I had some water, got some cool swag and got pictures taken. My cousin and the rest of the family met me at the finish line which was a nice surprise. Then headed over to the KICC for pizza, chocolate milk, and a massage.


Maybe do longer brick runs after the long rides. That and more long rides, but this was my first Ironman so I have been building my base for this race.


Great race, very well organized, and it seemed like there were more volunteers than athletes. WTC did an outstanding job.
