Found some good people to share drafting duties with.

Get more swim training in. Way under trained but happy with my performance

A bit baffled getting stuff stuffed into the T1 transfer bag. Hung my helmet in a differtent spot on my bike and couldn't find it for a few. Way to long of a transition for me.

Be more organized

Really happy with my bike, managed get a good rythm going in the flats, on the hills, and going down with light pressure, had alot more to give if I would have wanted to, wanted something left for the run. My garmin ran out of memory at around mile 38 (me bad, didn't delete old data) so I had to ride blind the rest of the race.

Felt great the whole ride, happy I went with my 11-23 cassette. The only time I dropped to my small front chain ring was riding back to the car after the race.

Delte my old records on the Garmin before the race.

Visit to the porta potty caused this to be 2 minutes longer than usual

Let it out more on the bike

Felt really good till the last hill climb between T1 and T2, forced a run up then did a short walk at the next aid station for a GU and hydration.

Get more training runs in. I was really under trained for the run but did better than my runs on other 70.3s

stretch, walk, and the wonderful ice bath


Under trained


New 70.3 PR for me and vendication for the 1st IMKS I did two years ago, when I puked on the bike 4 times and ended up averaging 10 minute miles on the run due to dehydration.

Had a great time. It was really cool to be racing with other BTers, my tri club KC Multisports, other friends, and people from all over the country.
