Soma Half Iron Triathlon - Triathlon1/2 Ironman

Great swim for me in that I was very casual and still had a good time. I think my swimming is really improving since last year.

This was a training day or "D" race so I would have probably slowed down a little more to focus on technique. Real race is less than 4 weeks to go.

Great bike leg for me. Not too hard and nutrition was spot on. Too bad there was so many u-turns so technique was more important than hammering the pace.

Probably slow down as the bike and swim were too fast for my planned pace goal.

Just and easy transition.

Put the race speed in!

Mostly walk/jog after the first 5 miles. The goal pace was way too fast and I did not want to force myself to spend the next few weeks in recovery instead of training mode.

Slow the Bike/Swim and pace the run better.

Slip and slide and a littel food while walking about.


Internal goal of trying to keep overall time closer to 7 hours.


My only injury was a bloody knee from finishing on the slip and slide. I also did not re-apply sun screen so i cought the red face of shame for my lack of foresight. I really do look forward to IMAZ now in that the run will be later (cooler) than this and with a good swim and bike I should be able to finish before cut-off times.
