Ironman 70.3 Florida - Triathlon1/2 Ironman

Good pacing throughout the swim. Was never gasping for breath or panicking, which ios an improvement overall my last race. Form fell apart the last 20% or so of the swim as I started to tire out.

I would like to have shaved off about 4-5 minutes from my swim time, which would definitely be attainable.

Stopped at port-o-let to drain some fluids.

Avoid the bathroom if possible

This was a great course. Really enjoyed it.

I would not lose my chain.

Used the toilet again to drain some fluids. Quick about it though.

Not use the bathroom if I could avoid it (without going in my shorts, like some people do. Not my cup of tea.

This was my second 1/2 ironman. The first one I had to walk quite a bit more. Overall 2:25 not bad. 1/2 marathon time was 1:58:00 when doing the run alone in 60 degree wether.

Try to get my 1/2 marathon time to 10 minutes/mile pace

Just some light stretches.


Did not train enough for the event. My goal is to get a sub 6 hour half ironman and I think I can do that with more training.


All they had to eat after the race was pizza and that ran out right after I got mine. There were still a lot of athletes that hadn't finished the race yet. Only water to drink. No gatorade, no fruit. Very dissappointed with the variety of nourishment. Good giveaways though. Finisher T-shirt, nice medal, Ironman tote bag, running cap. Very impressed with the schwag they gave out.
