Musselman Half -Iron Triathon - Triathlon1/2 Ironman

Felt very relaxed and comfortable. Swam off course twice which cost me time.

Better sighting, more work in open water.

Decent T1, had a little trouble with the wetsuit.

Practice getting out of wetsuit

Pushed a good pace, and stayed in the big ring except for one climb. Bounced a bottle before the halfway point but continued on without it. Took in 5 GU's, 1 1/2 packages of Clif Shot Blocks, 1 aerodrink and 2 bottles of GU20 as well as one bottle of water. Could have used some endurolytes. Passed a ton of people on the ride, only got caught by about 3 people.

Not bounce bottle, bring endurolytes or other way to consume more electrolytes.

Great T2, almost ran over some people that were dismounting at a standstill but got around them. Had the 25th faster T2 of the day.

Be cleaner and faster.

Legs just did not want to move. Had terrible cramps, really wish I had taken in some endurolytes. I hammered through the run and some tough hills, it was a great mental workout. Desperately wanted to go faster, but by mile 7 or 8 my legs just would not respond.

ENDUROLYTES throughout the day. More brick workouts.

Ice bath and lots of fluids. Walked around finish area and did some strechting. Ate tons of free food and hung out with some awesome BT peeps. Saw Bob collect his hardware and watched his son take home 3rd in the kids race.


Training, and lack of knowledge about long distances.


Phenomenal event. Very well run and the volunteers were great and so eager to help. Late in the run I was yelling for a cup of Coke but there were none ready, some teenage kid poured a cup and chased me down to get it to me. I turned around thanked him profusely and told him he made my day. I will most certainly be back next year.
