![]() Swim
Comments: This was a great swim leg. I checked up a little, I know I could have swan a lot faster. What would you do differently?: Swim at a lot faster of a rate ![]() Transition 1
Comments: I had a very long way from the back of the transition point to the start of the run. What would you do differently?: lube the wetsuit. ![]() Bike
Comments: I started way too hard averageing 23-24 mph. My bike computer seemed to go insane so I had to beg others for the rate. towards the end of the leg I let up a lot. I did NOT eat properly on this segment and that proved to e my demise. What would you do differently?: Eat properly on the bike and ensure my computer works before the race start. ![]() Transition 2
Comments: The guys at the race seemed to have screwed this part up. The transitoions didnt get recorded ![]() Run
Comments: By this portions my heat injury kicked in. I believed I had heat exhuastion mainly becuase of my nutrition(or lack thereof) on the bike segment. What would you do differently?: Do as Joe Montanna says and "Save something for the fourth quarter." ![]() Post race
Warm down: I sat in the aide station under a cold fan and begged to die...ok I didnt beg to die but I was HURTING! What limited your ability to perform faster: Definatley nutrition!! NOTE TO SELF and all who read this. WHEN DOING A HALF IRONMAN: Eat some solid food. Make sure your caloric intake is eaqual or great to that of you rate of caloric burn. (yea I just learned that) Also start off a lot slower. Event comments: this was an overall Awesome race i will have to travel great distances in the next years in order to make it to this race again but it will be worth every bit!!
