Well paced run, I'm not surprised with the lack of speed given I've done zero anaerobic work while training for IMLP
What would you do differently?:

Nothing

Fumbled a tiny bit with a shoe but otherwise a very clean transition

Don't fumble the shoe

Comments:

Well controlled pace for the most part. Hit the bottom of the hill feeling pretty good and I used that to take over a bunch of people during the the climb. Kept a strong pace to the finish while saving enough for the run.
What would you do differently?:

Not much
Transition 2
  • 00m 19s
Comments:

Very fast, 2nd fastest T2 in the race (by only .003, only because I had to readjust my rack)
What would you do differently?:

Nothing

Beat my first run thanks to great pacing. Passed all those I could see and finished strong.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing
Post race
Warm down:

Walked a bit and stretched

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Ironman training doesn't really include sprint work, but I'm still happy with this result.

Event comments:

I always enjoy this event, run by a great group and for the size they have impressive post race food.
