Ford Ironman 70.3 California - Triathlon1/2 Ironman

This is my second fastest time (first being 29:13 at Vineman and that had a current)and second time below :30. I was very pleased with my swim. Felt that I could have gone a little faster. Ran into a lot of bodies that started before. I was 13th out of the water and in the 5% for my AG so I can not complain.

Turn it on more at the end.

It was a long run and there were a lot of slow people in front of me so it was hard to get to my bike. I found my rack easy and remembered the marker for my aisle.

I just need to get faster on getting Wetsuit off and overall Transition.

I went too easy in the first half and should have gone a little faster. Was nervous about the back side and tried to save some for the last 10 miles.

Definetly needed to work harder. I was told to keep HR in high 140s and that was not good advice. I should have stayed in the 150s with hills taking me up into 160s. I think I can bike better than I did today. Also, less liquid and more gels.

I had to pee so bad and that took at least a minute of my time.

No fuel belt.

This was my fastest 70.3 run time by about 5-6 minutes. It was also one of the toughest for me. It just felt hard. 1) I think I started off too fast and should have paced myself better 2) dropping 6 minutes made it hard on me 3) and it just wasn't my day for whatever reason.

Start off pacing my run better so that I run a negative split. Still had some kick left in the tank for the end as I passed one AG but feel short of another by two seconds.

None. Get some food and got the heck out of Dodge.


Drank too much on the bike.


All glory to God! I gave it my best and committed the rest. I could not have gone any faster on this day. I gave it my all. I finished in the top 10% in all categories in my AG and in the top 15% overall. A big thank you to my Coach and Mentor Lar Dog and to my other mentor Quinton Berry.
