Subject: I'm a half Ironman

As of yesterday afternoon at about 1500 (3:00 pm civilian) I completed my first half ironman. The Florida Half IM, 70.3. The time was over 7 hours, but I had a couple incidents (not for public comment) that slowed me down. I was happy with the results.

My only good pieces of advice would be, make a race/pace plan and followit (I did and it worked great), eat and drink every chance you get, and do brick workout (I didn't).

I did get to meet Mike (marmadaddy) and his family Saturday at the race expo, but couldn't make the dinner with the BT crew Saturday night.

Once the results get posted I will fill in my race report.

a half-iron man...hmmm...what alloy is that? I don't have my periodic table in front of me...
I want to know because I'll be one after Timberman and need to know the chemical compositioin for my tattoo

Seriously, though, congrats on your achievement!

Iron is element #26, and Aluminum is element #13. Some races already thought of this, I know there are a few Aluminum Man tris around.

Congrats Brent! I was out there too, and when results are up I'll make a report. My report will probably be 75% on heat mitigation strategies had to resort to during the run.
