Comments: Swallowed some water. Also somewhat out of my routine didn't put body glide on my pits, neck, and cloning machine, still suffering from the rash 1 day laetr. What would you do differently?: Body glide my entire body  Transition 1
Comments: None, was hoping to see some girls doing the nude undress thing, but no luck! What would you do differently?: NA  Bike
Comments: Started puking around mile 20 (my Normann Stadler imatation), four small purges (define small?), which ruined my hydration need for the run. My gut didn't like some of the lake water I swallowed, the E-Tabs I took, the nutrition (Hammer Perpeteum), something totally unrelated, or all of the above? Otherwise a was a good strong bike, my lungs and legs felt great! What would you do differently?: Go back to a none protein based nutrition plan GU or Hammer Gel Transition 2
Comments: didn't get one pebble off of my foot, which let me know it was hitching a ride around mile 3. What would you do differently?: Clean feet off better.  Run
Comments: Starting cramping at mile 5, had to start walk/run combo by mile 7 (see bike). The hydration I would normally have ingested on the bike was wasted and/or slowed down by tummy problems, leading to dehydration. A super KC Multisport friend of mine noticed my plight and forced me to take two of his E-Tabs (I figured they would make me puke again), he insured me I wouldn't get sick (thanks Bill). Within 10 minutes I was able to resume a slow run to the finish. Very capable of a 8:45 per run on a HIM, but not today! What would you do differently?: Not puke on the bike leg. Post race
Warm down: The cold fron that changed the temp about 15 degree's took care of my warm down. What limited your ability to perform faster: Involuntary purging, heat and humidity. Event comments: 1) A IM series race needs wet suit stripper's. 2) The bike leg didn't have enough drink stations. My aero bottle (sportsa drink) was empty a good 15 minutes before the 1st two drink stations. My seat bottles are for nutrition and water. The run portion was perfect. 3) The weather spoiled the post race events. Last updated: 2007-11-16 12:00 AM

I saw a few of you guys by the side of the road puking. Did you see Dorothy? |

Elite 2863 | Subject: RE: Ironman Kansas 70.3 There must have been something at mile 20 on the bike that induced vomiting. This was the same place I got sick. Or maybe you are responsible for me getting sick since you were ahead of me. Hmmmmm....... Great race and great race report. Congrats on a strong finish with all of the cramping and stomach issues! You rocked the bike course! Ironman Wisconsin here we come! |
