Ironman 70.3 Boulder - Triathlon

took a little while to find some clean water, was pretty crowded for the first leg, over all felt pretty good, didn't get tired.

maybe start a little closer to the front.

took a little extra time to wipe the sand off of my feet.

I got tired on the bike, the 2nd half hills were starting to eat my lunch, was really glad to get off the bike. I hydrated well, drinking almost 3 bottles of my nutrition of Infinit, and ate 1 gel. Started to get some build up of gas in my stomach on the bike.

Need more bike training, most of my training was on the flat bike path, next time will continue to work on my hills

stopped to go to the bathroom in T2

Thought I might have problems on the run with being tired, but once I got going, I was able to just keep a steady pace. Took regular walk breaks, through the aid stations, and about every 10 minutes, so I guess it probably averaged a break about every 5 minutes. Nothing was hurting, I wasn't out of gas, but didn't feel I could push to go faster. At every aid station I took 2 cups of water, drank one, poured one over my head, took a cup of perform, and dumped a cup of Ice down my shorts. Weather was great the whole day, a high of about 75.

ate a little bit, and drank some water and beer


I loved this race!
