Fred D's Ironman/Half-Ironman focused Mentor Group --CLOSED (Page 92)

I had alot of fun this morning at the race.  The course was pretty tough..it was on mountain bike trails and also in some gravel pit areas.  The mountain bike sections were insanely winding.  I mean it was laughable how windey they were.  There was alot of mud in the last 5 miles as well.  It would stick to your shoe for the next 500 feet until you hit the next mud section and repeat. 

They started the 10K and 10 mile at the same time so it was tough to know where I was.  The two guys 100 feet ahead of me split off at the 5 mile mark to head home for the 10K.  I only saw one person up ahead after that and got passed by a really good local triathlete at the 6 mile mark but that was it.

I am thinking I was anywhere from 3rd to 5th Overall but they were slow to get times posted on site after the race so I took off.  They have still not posted yet.  I am happy with the effort.  Finished in 1:10:xx.  I could definitely tell my legs were not fresh but it was a training day so no worries.  I will post again when I get the results back.

Great Job Chris!  I look forward to hearing about it.

Looking forward to tracking the peeps tomorrow.  have a good weekend.

Thanks all. Will report later, but given that my dream goal was 5:48 based on my training, and it's a 44 minute PR on this course over last year, I can safely say I am thrilled with today's race
