Joe - when I click on the link it takes me to the "Forums" page and not to a report or anything. I looked in Race Reports and didn't see anything with your name on it.

At the pool this morning I found out I missed out on a 20K trail run yesterday. It's a 10K run out an old rail line (Kettle Valley Railway) including a tunnel. All up hill about 2% grade going out then turn around and run back - downhill all the way. I'll definitely include it in my late season for next year.

Carlo - Congratulations!!! A solid finish to your first HIM. You toughed it out through adversity and wound up with a solid finish, a PR and you had a great time. All the better of course with your family at the finish line.

Your swim sounds like you handled it really well and better swims are on the way - you'll just keep getting faster. And, you felt strong coming out of the water - a very big deal. A second pair of goggles is a great idea. I always try to have at least two pair and I like to have a clear pair and a black pair in case of sunshine.

How cool was the weather while you were on the bike? If you train on hills you'll definitely pick up some speed. Your time for the bike is very enviable. I'd love to be that fast.

You handled the run really well. In my next HIM my goal is to finish the run in 2:30 so I don't think you did bad at all. Especially in view of the problems you had. For myself, and you, as we build up our bike fitness our running fitness will improve as well.

Laughed out loud when you said you, "Want to do it again." I can definitely relate to that feeling.

(I found your race report when I was looking for Joe's).

Friends

Thanks for all the support through this months of training. I could not have done it without Joe's and Gary's tracking of our workouts. Our member's inspiring race reports from sprints to HIMs. Encouraging words from all of us. To be specific what helped me the most is:

Joe's advice on nutrition 2 GuS per hour, Skratch.

George your swimming advice are helpful, shows with your performance on open water.

I do admit I was under pressure being the last to have a scheduled HIM. But all I can say trust the training and everything will fall into place.

Thanks again

I'll defer to anyone else in the group who needs clipless pedals, but if no one else speaks up I'm interested.  I have the shimano spd-sl pedals right now, so the 105's would be a bit of an upgrade. Generous offer buddy!

 

If anyone else in the group does not already have clipless pedals, they are a must have, speak up!
