Pre-race routine:

Just getting to this race is enough. Spend 90 minutes driving and looking for an open gas station for carbo unloading.
Event warmup:

Mostly hanging out with a lot of great BT'ers. Too tired to name them all now.

Comments:

Took this swim very easy. Ribs are getting better but are still tender three weeks out from breaking them. Actually went faster than last year when I was in much better swimming shape.

Comments:

Legs just didn't want to fire on the bike today. Dissapointed in going slower this year than last year. 16 hour training week must have beat me up more than I thought.
Transition 2
  • 02m 41s
Run

  • 5.3 miles
  • 08m 23s  min/mile
Comments:

Started really hurting around mile 3. Deep breaths are painfull. Despite feeling horrible I actually knocked some seconds off last years run.
Post race
Warm down:

Hung out with all the great people afterwords.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

No taper, heavy week of IM training, couple of cracked ribs. I should be happier with this performance I guess.

Event comments:

Once again HOLT has put on a great race. Favorite event of the year.
