Subject: RE: Gulf Coast - GOOD luck threadI echo everyone else. The swim wasn't too choppy but the it pushed you around. If Carole Sharpless only swims it in 29, I don't feel so bad. Bike was fine. Tailwind going out, noticeable headwind coming back. Run...brutal. I have never drank so much on the run. I stopped at mile 3 and drank two cups of ice water. EVERY aid station was 2-3 ice waters on the body. I am not lying that my shoes are STILL wet this morning. Look at the run times. Very few went under 1:35. You could have a subpar run and get hardware. I will add that of all my races I have ever done, I walked away from GCT thinking this might have been the best experience. They knew what they were doing down there. |
