Ironman 70.3 Augusta : Official Thread (Page 22)

LOL! As someone who's lived in some of the worst parts of DC and Chicago and a 3rd-world country, and has no interest in Tahoe, Carmel or Aspen, I find that pretty funny. I'm sorry it upsets people so much to say that the town was not what we expected, nor what we felt was advertised. As I also said, the course looked lovely and like a really fun race. Anyway, onward!

Loved this race, thought it was super fast.  That might be the training finally paying off, but there were definitley some things that helped.  Downriver swim probably shave 3-4 minutes off that leg.  Secondly, having your peeps be able to see you 8 or more times to cheer you on helps fight that late run malaise that tends to set in some times.  Shaved an hour off my PR.  My PR clearly sucked, so not that big of a deal, but I felt great at the end and really enjoyed the race.  All the other stuff (race bags, check-in, etc) I don't really care about.  It's all about race day.  4 weeks to the Great Floridian!!!!

I'm in again for next year!
