Event comments: Well, for my First Ironman I thought that this race went pretty well with a time of about 15'48' '. The swim was pretty rough and sighting was hard and there were parts of the swim where i had to walk because it was too shallow and i was brushing my fingers against the coral. then after coming around the pier my and about 6 other people swam past one of the turn around buoys and ended up swimming an extra 100 - 150 meters. The transition was pretty smooth and the volunteers there did a very good job. The bike....was for someone who trains in the hills and not with a whole lot of wind resistance pretty brutal for about 50% of the race i was riding more or less straight into the wind (giving i sat up and let the wind push me for the other half), by the time i got to the run i was pretty sore, kudos to the bike aid station volunteers by the way. The run course was Flat ( to be expected of key west) and aside for the fact that I had to power walk half of it, the only problem i think i had was that it was a 3 loop course and was pretty boring in the dark, also the last mile or so was poorly marked and i got a little lost. Over all I think that it was a pretty good race and although i don't think ill come back (it was a bit of a drive) i would recommend it. Last updated: 2013-05-01 12:00 AM
