Well done.
Being realistic I was targeting 5:30.00. I finished in 4:57.18 which was huge deal for me as I've had a long jouney back since being hit by a car in 2012 and suffering two compound fractures to a leg, the half ironman and full have always been goals of mine prior to the accident and now they are even more important because they have become my rehab focus. My swim and ride are fast, just got a lot of work to do on the run before the next 70.3
Did you do the wings for life run ? (I would have liked to but I could barely walk on Sunday)
I hear mandurah 70.3 course is good, I'm feeling very tempted.
Ha ha no I was pretty hungover!
Mandurah is OK, last time it was 38 degrees, so pretty hideous. The spectators were complaining about the heat. Swim is fast as it's in the canals with a positive current, ride is OK, but hard if windy and run has one hill in it. Busso is far better and much quicker, but give Mandurah a shot. And well done, 4.57 is awesome. I've got to work on my run too. Swim & bike were quick, run was as slow as. I can run a 42min 10km, so to run 2hours for the 21.1 is a bit crap! |
