 Swim
Comments: Wow, what an aggresive swim, I started on the far right, in a large group, so the first 200M were quite a bit slower, as there was a lot of swimming over/being swam over, kicking and so on. Managed to swim on my own from about 900M to the last 200 where i caught a large group and was back in the washing machine. Overall it was a great swim, everything was going right. What would you do differently?: Get myself in a less dense spot, would have been faster if I didnt have to fight.  Transition 1
Comments: Had trouble getting my wetsuit over my chip and clipping in at the mount line was a bit of a pain for some reason What would you do differently?: practice flying mounts  Bike
Comments: Great bike, the first lap felt easy and relaxed while at a good pace, worked hard on the second lap, was getting tired when i finally came into transition What would you do differently?: nothing Transition 2
Comments: It was alright, no huge difficulties What would you do differently?: nothing, except maybe learn flying dismounts and get tri shoes.  Run
Comments: felt good coming off the bike... took the first 8K fairly easy, then picked it up from there, finished off as strong as I could with barely anything left in the tank What would you do differently?: More running in training Post race
Warm down: FOOD!! Massage and a cold lake... It was all good What limited your ability to perform faster: More swim and run training needed. Last updated: 2009-06-22 12:00 AM

Member 74 | Subject: RE: New Balance 1/2 Ironman Well what a great day!! My first half was a complete success, I could not have asked for better really! Under 5 hours was what i was really hoping for, so happy that it happened. Definitely gonna work the swim and run a little more... Maybe time for a tri bike! (Yeah right, poor student) Hope everyone had a great day! |

Master 2501  | Subject: RE: New Balance 1/2 Ironman Congratulations!! Sounds like it was a fast day for many! It was my first HIM too, and I was hoping to break 6:00 (did a 5:43). A lovely course. You smoked it. Nicely done!! (Editing to add: I'd like to have a tri bike too!! I was wondering if I would be one of the few roadies, but there were quite a few...)

Woke at 4Am, had a cup of rice and 3 eggs and some water. Got to the race site at 5:30, set up transition, just took it easy waiting for the race start.
Didnt get a warm up at all, forgot my earrings in and had to run up to Sandra and drop them off, by the time i got back to the water it was almost time to go.
