  • Comments: Even though this race did not turn out the way I was hoping it would I don't think I would change anything about it. It was an amazing exerience for my first HIM. When I set out to do triathlons 11 months ago I didn't know anything and now I have a 70.3 finish in the books. I learned many valuable lessons from this race and about myself which is going to just make me a better triathlete and a better person. Event Power does a great job with their events. The volunteers yesterday were awesome and I really felt bad for them as they had to endure the miserable weather too. At least we were racing. A big thanks to all the volunteers and the spectators out there yesterday in those conditions. I also wanted to say thank you to the members of my mentoring group the Asphalt Junkies. You guys are awesome! I don't think I would have come this far this year without all your help and suppport. I also have to say thank you to all the local LI triathletes some fellow BT'ers and others from twinforks

  • Comments: I learned a lot today. There are a lot of things I can take away from this race: 1. I learned, and proved to myself that my sub 6 hour HIM from last year was not an anomaly. It wasn’t just some freak PR that I attained because of IM training for a year. This is an important lesson for me and it is important to solidify the thought that I AM a sub 6:00 half Iron Man guy. 2. I think I need to figure out how to re-evaluate the way I train on the bike. I can’t continue to ride at 18.XX mph in training and expect that to translate to a 19.5-20.0 mph pace come race day. I have spent the better part of the last several years mindlessly pushing the pedals around in an effort to simply finish the day’s miles and help control body weight. I need to make sure that EVERY bike ride in the future has a specific purpose and I need to do more rides with more intensity. I need to figure out how to find Jorge’s plan this winter and follow it religiously 3. I need to get back in the weight
