  • Comments: Last race I had a hard time keeping to my pace and nutrition plans. For this race I tried to simplify it. Nutrition Bike – perpetuem / Cliff bar & shot blocks for variety / Gatorade Run – 1 gel / half a banana / coke / Gatorade Heart Rate Bike – high zone 2 / low zone 3 and stay below lactate threshold Run – 1st half - zone 3 / low zone 4 // 2nd half whatever I could manage! The day was perfect – it was sunny and the temp was about 11C (approx 52F) and rose to a high in the low 20’sC (70’sF). I had a great time and finished feeling strong but knowing that I pushed as hard as I could. Received an e-mail from Somersault to inform me that the Run was 1km short :(

  • Comments: Before the race, I remarked to my friend that there was another HIM in two weeks in Montreal and that if things went well here I might do that HIM as well. Once I crossed that finish line I was not so sure that I would be up to that. I was tired, my legs felt tight and I just wanted to rest. Mind you, by the next morning I felt great. A day later I felt like I participated in a 5K run rather then a half iron distance race. Today, I'm ready to sign up for that HIM in Montreal. Now if only I can figure out a way to break it to my wife...

  • Overall course based on my ability:

  • Comments: Somersault events are always well organized. The bike and run courses are very flat. The 6 bike laps were Ok but I was glad there weren't more. I wouldn't do the iron distance race here for that reason (12 lap bike, 4 lap run) A good course for a first 1/2 distance race. (though I would have preferred a few hills on the run).
