Ironman 70.3 Boulder - Triathlon1/2 Ironman

After having a couple of panic swims earlier this year, I'm still just a little tentative to push it.

I actually spend too much time in the open water. Need to do more intervals in the pool to build speed.

Missed my running mount and banged the fence pretty hard.

Slow down. No need to save 15 sec on a 5+ hr race.

Legs started to feel a little heavy toward the end.

Probably just need some more time in the saddle.

I kept a small cooler with my frozen water bottles. Recommend this!!

1st lap wasn't too bad but my pace did slow. Lap 2 got really hot. Tried to resist walking but I broke down a couple of times.

More training, nothing else.

Walked around, got some food. Everything was going fine till I sat down and the cramps set it.


I got what I earned. My schedule got hectic the last 4 weeks of training and it showed. If you don't put in the time you can't expect the result. Just can't fake 70.3 miles. None the less, I finished and was proud of that.


Wish this race were a few weeks later once things start to cool. Running in the 90's is not fun at all.

Seems this race has almost out grown it's location. My family had to walk from Jay rd. If not for my slow race they would have missed me at the finish.
