EagleMan Ironman 70.3 Triathlon - Triathlon1/2 Ironman

Felt really good.

I have issue swimming in the pool with a seriously stuffed nose after swimming. About a week ago I got nose clips to try. I forgot them the one day I swam since so the race was my first chance to try them out. Went about 100 yds and said to hell with these and stuffed them in my pant leg... Never saw them again. Somewhere there is a fish in the Choptank river with a new pair of nose clips on.

I tried tyo go fast but not rush so i would forget something. Had a plan for nutrition and didn't want to screw it up. could have been faster but I believe it was well worth the slow transition. Still faster than last year.

Practice more so I can go a little faster.

First race on the new bike. no mechanical issues and no issues for me either.

More time in the saddle in training

Good transition. Much less to worry about. Remove bike stuff, put on sneaks hat and grab the one bottle for the run.

Felt really really good decided to push it a bit. I took it pretty easy for about 1 mile while I pumped some blood around to the other muscles in my legs. Once that happened I felt good enough to pick it up. I started running and I meet up to a guy named Mike. We got talking and he is from lansdale. I couldn't believe it what were the odds? Anyway we ran together for a while until I dropped him. Just kept feeling good so i kept running fast (for me anyway)

Nothing. Just keep training.

Stretching. Walking around. Couldn't believe how good i felt. Such a different experience from last year. Cut 57 minutes off the time!


Had a great time. Outstanding event at all levels. lots of enthusiastic volunteer and community involvement.
I got my picture taken with Desiree Ficker. (She is a goddess in my world)
Just an outstanding day. I'll try and post a few pix.
