  • Comments: Honu 70.3 Race Report June 3, 2006 Big Island PRE-RACE My custom is to log in my "best case" times for my races, so on May 26th, 2006, here are my pre-race predictions: Swim: 36' T1 3' Bike: 2h 45' T2 2' Run 1h 52’ Total 5h 18’ We will see if my predictive powers continue to amaze me!!! The above is what I posted to my “race log” at BT. The difficulty with this race is the heat/humidity. If you look at the times that people have done in the 2005 race, this is a good time. The guy who took 3rd in the 45-49 AG last year, ran a 1:59 ½ marathon, but he KILLED the bike. My 5:18 would put me 4th last year in the 45-49 AG. Not good enough for Hawaii slot. I am not going to worry about that, because I really do not expect that to happen at this race, although I have my checkbook ready! RACE DAY Honu is my first triathlon of the season, and my first one since Ironman Florida which was seven months ago. I did all the usual stuff that I always do on race

  • Comments: Wow, I am spoiled for certain now. run aid stations every mile at least. A buffet every 2 miles. This was a real class act. I am a little disapointed in my time, but pleased with my effort throught the race. I'm not in as good of shape as I thought. The course was tougher than what I had imagined it would be prior to arriving here. Doing a HIM is harder than I had imagined as well. Overall I am very happy with the overall race experience, my performance and my first M Dot experience. Here is a link to the IM Live AG. I'll update the ag ranks when available. http://liveupdate.ironmanlive.com/ppv/?rid=72
