Subject: RE: Ironman 70.3 Eagleman Triathlon : Official ThreadI had a great time for my 2nd eagleman. Last time I did this race, it was my 2nd HIM at the time and it BROKE ME. To date, it is my worst time for an HIM and worst swim and worst run. Sunday was a different type of race for me than usual... as opposed to doing the best I could, I was going for under 5 hours or bust. I knew the paces I had to do to get there and paced myself appropriately on the swim (PR) and bike (PR).. At mile 3 on the run I was still on pace... and then it fell apart. I was not well trained enough to hit my sub-5 goal on a day with that heat. That said, I'm not mad, I'm proud of myself for going out at the paces I needed to be at and taking it as far as I could on a hard day. Great times! |
