Ironman Kansas 70.3 - Triathlon1/2 Ironman

Swallowed some water. Also somewhat out of my routine didn't put body glide on my pits, neck, and cloning machine, still suffering from the rash 1 day laetr.

Body glide my entire body

None, was hoping to see some girls doing the nude undress thing, but no luck!

NA

Started puking around mile 20 (my Normann Stadler imatation), four small purges (define small?), which ruined my hydration need for the run. My gut didn't like some of the lake water I swallowed, the E-Tabs I took, the nutrition (Hammer Perpeteum), something totally unrelated, or all of the above?

Otherwise a was a good strong bike, my lungs and legs felt great!

Go back to a none protein based nutrition plan GU or Hammer Gel

didn't get one pebble off of my foot, which let me know it was hitching a ride around mile 3.

Clean feet off better.

Starting cramping at mile 5, had to start walk/run combo by mile 7 (see bike). The hydration I would normally have ingested on the bike was wasted and/or slowed down by tummy problems, leading to dehydration. A super KC Multisport friend of mine noticed my plight and forced me to take two of his E-Tabs (I figured they would make me puke again), he insured me I wouldn't get sick (thanks Bill). Within 10 minutes I was able to resume a slow run to the finish.

Very capable of a 8:45 per run on a HIM, but not today!

Not puke on the bike leg.

The cold fron that changed the temp about 15 degree's took care of my warm down.


Involuntary purging, heat and humidity.


1) A IM series race needs wet suit stripper's.
2) The bike leg didn't have enough drink stations. My aero bottle (sportsa drink) was empty a good 15 minutes before the 1st two drink stations. My seat bottles are for nutrition and water. The run portion was perfect.
3) The weather spoiled the post race events.
