Timberman - Half Iron - Triathlon

swam pretty well. Could have gone a little faster, but I didn't want to go out to fast and have nothing left for the rest of the race.

I wouldn't do anything differently.

Took my time getting from the water to the bike. My heart rate was a little high, and I could have ran more than I walked. I also put sunscreen on. the spray kind.

Run to the bike, learn how to hop on bike and get clipped into pedals instead of stopping and clipping in.

Chain popped off, and I also stopped and had to mix my Gu Brew at the aid stations.



I need to figure out a different way to hydrate. Stopping to mix drinks took about 10-12 min. out of my time. Hydrate more on the bike. I went through 3 bottles of Gu brew and about 4 of my aero drink bottle. Not sure if I needed more than that or not.

Felt ok after the bike, I put some more sunscreen on. Not sure why it took me this long in transition. Don't remember it being that long.

Nothing.

I felt good coming out of transition until about the 1/2 mile mark. My race was basically over then, and just had to gut out and finish. I ran 3 telephone poles and then would walk one. I walked thru transition and grabbed water at every one and gatorade every other one. went through every sprinkler that was offered. The heat basically killed my run.


Not sure I could have done anything differently. Other than hydrate a little more on the bike. I also brought a bottle of water with me on the course.

Not fall down.

Sat on a table right near the medical area and the dry goods area, waiting to stand up and put on my flip flops.


the heat. and


The race started late due to an accident and nothing the organizers could have prevented.

Great race, Great Volunteers. Awesome spectators.
