Ironman Arizona - TriathlonFull Ironman

Lined up first row of swimmers and held on till the kayak moved out... then off to the race. Swam my line and felt alone the whole time. Lots of people to the left of me but the line i chose the day before was a ghost town. So no contact and swam solid for the whole swim portion. Goal time of 1:10 and came in 1:09:03

Wish there were a couple more people in the area I was swimming so i could get some draft but other than that was very happy with the swim

Went as expected... just a long run to the tent

Good bike effort just too many people in the 3 loops. 1st loop was fine, 2nd loop crazy busy, then 3rd loop was much better. Lots of race marshals were seen and people in the penalty tents i am sure for drafting with the amount of people out there it was almost impossible for people to be 3 lengths apart the whole time.

drink more... is always an issue with me and the bike

went smooth and no problems

I have always been a poor runner so i hoped to hold on for a 5:00 marathon. Ended up with 4:55. Felt good through 13 miles then had trouble with nausea and had to switch to just coke and some water. Ice was a savior for me being a bigger guy i overheat quickly and this worked wonders in the tri suit. Last 2 miles felt like they took forever was glad to see the massive crowd and my family at the finish line.

Learn to run

Crossed the line, picture taken and walked around trying to feel my legs again. Grabbed fries with salt and a few waters and chatted with friends


My run always my limiting factor


My last Ironman i did in 13:38:59 so this was a massive improvement of over 2:20. Was very happy with my result and sore as hell today.
