Pro  4909    Hailey, ID |  Subject: RE: Ironman 70.3 BoiseUnfortunate DNF for my first try at HIM. Swim went okay but I blew up on the bike and was borderline hypothermic on the bike according to the medic guys after getting off the bike. Purple arms and couldn't move my hands was soooo fun. Blew up at about 40 miles. Weather + having training issues with running my business = problems. I'm bummed and keep rethinking what I could have done differently as I was 1 min after the bike cut off. First person cut. But considering there were a bunch of DNFs (have heard anywhere from 100-400) I'm okay with what I did. I see some here kicked butt. GOOD JOB! |

Elite 5316 Alturas, California | Subject: RE: Ironman 70.3 Boise Doh, sorry to hear that. I had thought about putting on a waterproof jersey for the bike, but in the end didn't because the the rain did not start until after I had started the bike. Man don't be discourange about a DNF in those conditions. The only thing you can do is bring a jersey if there is any chance of rain or something. Get warm and just train for that next one. It won't be like that every race day. Much love and respect! |

Elite 4564 Boise | Subject: RE: Ironman 70.3 Boise I managed a 6:13 after my knee gave out on me during mile 9 on the run. I had 6 hours in my sight, but then had to walk a lot the last few miles. |
