Subject: RE: Ironman 70.3 Augusta : Official Threadjbjb110 - 2011-05-29 4:42 PM That sounds like a horrible crash, aintaround. Good to you for getting back at it and finishing the race last year. Did you do FL 70.3? If so, how would you compare the two events? I understand that I'm going to have to build some hills into my bike training. I am a back-of-packer who cramped up at FL 70.3 but still finished. Shooting for 55 swim, 3:30 bike and 2:30 run at Augusta. Hoping we don't top 85 degrees (yeah, right). Concerning Augusta '09 the thing is I do not remember anything except the swim, the transition, the ride (sort of), and then . . . Well then I woke up (sort of) striped down wondering where my bike was . . . a day later (no pain) the wife explained some (what she knew) is I had a crash, i was near not being very good, i was transported by helicopter to the ER. A day maybe two later we left Augusta for Tampa. I remember some not all. A few weeks later I did IM Florida, the hard part was my hands. in the crash I broke most of my fingers. I had to swim away from the pack. touching the water hurt, getting slammed by the person next to me was "ACK". No blame on them, just I had to swim WAY outside of them. Yes I have completed 70.3 Florida in '10 and '11. In comparison with the 70.3 and IMFL (IMFL completed in '09 and '10) and will provide any info you need. |
