Great Illini Challenge Half Ironman - Triathlon1/2 Ironman

Need to work on sighting and navigation. I swear I probably swam 1.5 miles with all the zig zagging.

work on sighting and swimming straight. Maybe try to push a little harder. I was pretty relaxed coming out of the swim.

T1 went pretty well. I was relaxed and breathing easy after the swim.

This course had some rough roads over about half the course with one section being really rough and bumpy. I did make the bike split I had hoped for.

Train longer rides.

T2 went pretty smooth and I was out quickly.

This is where I fell apart. I couldn't force myself to run for more than a 1/2 mile to 1 mile at a time. then had to walk.

Train more long rides with runs afterwards to get my legs used to running tired.

walked around and got my legs massaged.


Running off the bike.


Course does have a couple of rough roads on the bike. Alot of the volunteers on the run were school kids who could care less about being there.
