Wildflower 1/2 Ironman - Triathlon1/2 Ironman

Had a good swim. Knocked 2 minutes off last years time. Got out good, but after the first bouy I kinda got pushed out a little bit. Everything else was good.

Don't get pushed out

good transition

nothing

Had a really bike until mile 50. Was in the back of the pro mens pack who started 10 mins ahead of me. Was on track for about a 2:40 bike split. At the beginning of Nasty Grade me legs were just kinda out of it and lost a lot of time riding up that and the final 6 miles. Knocked 17 minutes off last years time.

Just train more on the bike so I can get my legs used to going hard for that long.

good transition but a bunch of spectators somehow got into T2 and were standing right infroent of my rack.

nothing

Started off the run with bad legs, couldnt settle into a good pace and couldnt get a good rhythm. Then at mile 7 I felt good and ran the last 6 miles in about 42 minutes. Knocked 6 minutes off last years time.

Do more brick sessions, and more run training.

sat in the medical tent and ate pretzles.


just not training for long course races, mostly just short fast paced ITU races.


Really good race. Terry Davis is a really good race director. Knocked over 24 minutes off last years time, won the 17-19 age group by 53 minutes as a 16 year old, and was 9 minutes off the course record set in 2000 by a 19 year old. I'll do a 4:45 next year.
