Subject: RE: Ironman Florida : Official ThreadHey guys, hope everyone had a great race!
I updated the Google Document to add finishing time and comments.
My race went great and I set a new PR of 50 minutes for a 12:20 finish. I had some severe stomach cramps from about mile 85 on the bike thru the finish because I screwed up my nutrition plan due to taper madness. On long rides I usually go with my Infinit nutrition with protein for first 3 hours to keep my hunger down and then switch to non-protein mix last few hours. I forgot my non-protein mix and was extremely bloated and nauseous for last bit of bike and all of the run. I still managed new PR's in all 3 disciplines but it's tough knowing I could've easily taken a hour off my run time had I prepped better. That's how the cookie crumbles though and that is part of why we keep doing these things, to keep improving.
Just wanted to say a big thanks to this group, I've learned a lot. Hopefully some of y'all are doing IM CHOO CHOO (Chattanooga ) next year and can hang out in my back yard. |
