Great T1. This is long transition area that takes a ton of time to get into and run the length. So I am happy with this time.

I need to fix the drinking situation NOW!!! Nutrition was perfect. 1 banana and 2.5 bars on the ride.

Drink more on the start.

Great T2. Just wish I remember that you ride through the back of transition before actually getting off the bike. I was ready to get off a little early. If I pushed it hard to no pass I would have been better off, because I got slowed up by slow transitioners.

Keep riding hard righ up until the dismount line.

I know I am not a fast runner but after last year my goal was no walking at all. I walked up a hill on the bike and walked a ton on the run last year. This year no walking anytime anywhere. It felt great.

Need to work on getting faster over longer distances. Step one, complete the run without walking. Might have been as slow

Jsut enjoyed the day. Had some beer and tacos and just relived a fun day.

I didn't mention. There was a support van on the course and slowed me down for a least a mile until I yelled at them to get out of the way. And I nearly got backed into by a cement truck at the power plant. Always eventful, but fun.


Run and swim, speed. The endurance/base were here this year, but the speed training never came around the way I would have liked. I really think a new swim training plan and running plan might help, maybe I will try it out for the rest of this season.


Second time and walking away with my time what it was makes me much happier. A little better organization and sponsorship last year (got nice canvas IM bags, this year just plastic gatorade bags). Being ten pounds less this year helped. Now I need to keep the weight down through the season and try to get to 205-210 for next year.
