  • Comments: This is a great race, especially since it was the first year that they did it. It did start a bit late, but I don't think anybody complained since it would only mean increased temps. A ton of Marines helped out as a fundraiser for the Marine Corps Ball. That was nice. For me this was the best race I have ever done. I REALLY rested the 3-4 days before hand. If I didn't feel like a workout, I skipped it. I think less is more for me as tapers are concerned. During the run I think part of it feeling better was that my focus was on the half IM this year and that added base made the Olympic distance so much easier. If anything, I finished the race with some fuel still in my tank. It was an Olympic distance PR by about 8 minutes :) I learned that in an Olympic distance, I don't really need that much nutrition. In my last Olympic I had twice as many cals and had some stomach upset. Weather was perfect too, which may have helped my speed :)
