Swim
Comments: TT swim start which was great never hit a single person the whole race. Chop was bad at times. Used this swim as an Ironman pace swim to see where I was at it was only the 2nd time this year I have swam this far. What would you do differently?: Nothing, could have went faster but was pleased just pacing. Transition 1
Comments: took my time in T1 had to pee so bad, stopped in the port a pot and used the restroom. What would you do differently?: bathroom break could have easily shaved 2 minutes off T1 if I was trying to be competitive. Bike
Comments: Did what I wanted to do held my Ironman aver. for the course. The 3rd lap was much harder with the wind picking up and heat. Course has enough hills to slow you a little, but overall good ride. No doubt if I was doing the sprint could have aver. 22-23 mph. What would you do differently?: nothing just stayed steady and did not work out of conversation pace. Transition 2
Comments: took my time again not trying to rush T2 put on the garmin and ran with bike shoes on. Once again if this was a sprint or I was racing to win I would have cut a good 45 seconds What would you do differently?: nothing all prep for IM Run
Comments: started off good first 3 miles aver pace was 8:15, started to cramp in the VMO muscle which was a first and had to start walking. battled cramps off and on from that point. Still held a 4 hour Ironman marathon pace which was my goal so I was pleased. Very surprised with the walking and heat that I was still able to run ok. What would you do differently?: still recovering from injuries and plantar fasciitis. This was my second longest run since march so I will take it. Post race
Warm down: went and stood in the water than ate and waited on awards What limited your ability to perform faster: Wasn't racing this event just trying to get my pacing down and wanted to see how I would run since battling foot problems. Event comments: Race was ok we started at 9 am and were suppose to go off at 8:20. not many port a pots which caused huge lines. Long lines a packet pick up and chip pick up. Overall nice event with lots of race options Last updated: 2013-06-30 12:00 AM
