Swim
Comments: Great swim - 10 mins faster than expecting, good sighting and turning, good swim stroke, felt good in the water What would you do differently?: not much, a few times was zig-zag-ing but not bad Transition 1
Comments: Wetsuit peelers helped. Long run to T1 from swim out but did pretty well in the transition. Used restroom to pee. What would you do differently?: Pee in water or on shore before swim start to save time. Couldn't get sunscreen packet open, probably wasted a minute there. Bike
Comments: Really strong bike. Felt amazing! Beat everyone in PTC except one guy. Training really paid off here! I thought I would be around 7 hours but I really conquered the hills. I think the training and rest into the race helped. What would you do differently?: Not much. I did well. Maybe pee on bike to save time if I could ever learn how to do this! Transition 2
Comments: Decent transition What would you do differently?: Had to pee again! Run
Comments: VERY HOT day. Tried to keep cool as much as possible. Wore the Sahara Hat which was a BIG deal and so glad I had that to keep cool. Ran most of the shaded part which I was proud of. Sunny part was tough and it was hilly as well. Gave it everything I had to break 13 hours! What would you do differently?: Was hoping for a sub 5-hour marathon to break 13 hours but couldn't do it. Would have liked to run more but was really pushing myself at the end. Wish I didn't have to stop to pee but I did. Had to keep control of my HR too. Not sure much I could have done that was in my control. Post race
Warm down: Stretching, Post-Race Massage, Warm Clothes, Food, Bus back to Hotel Mont-Tremblant What limited your ability to perform faster: Heat during the run course, Sun was brutal! Event comments: Great Race Course, beautiful scenery, lots of volunteers, well organized. I had fun and I raced well! Last updated: 2015-08-18 12:00 AM
