Subject: RE: Demi Esprit Triathlon : Official Thread Well, the race overall was awesome. I love the fact that it was flat for my first half iron distance. I was not as ready as I thought I was and so had next to no gas left for the run. I like the Bike course because it is really all you, and I was pleased to have been able to power by people. Unfortunatly, because I do not understand french, and they announced your remaining laps verbally, all mine were in french and I ended up doing an extra lap, so add 9 minutes to my bike. When I was done the bike, I started the run with some kidney area pain issues which prevented me from taking as much fluids and gels as I needed, so I was really running on empty. Overall though, I am proud that I accomplished it, I will be working hard over the winter to loose the remaining 20 lbs I need to to get where I want to be for next season. Oh, and if I did not cover the bike recommendation, it was awesome, it had enough mix to keep you interested, until you got tired and began praying for the end, but to that point, great course. I highly recommend doing it! |
