 Swim
Comments: I swam easy and relaxed. Only once did I find myself off course, easily corrected and back in the draft line. What would you do differently?: I think I could have pushed a bit harder, not sure what it would have cost me later on.  Transition 1
Comments: This transition includes 1/3 mile of running to get bag and out to bike mount line, I think 6 minutes is reasonable. I did not utilize the change tent. A volunteer found me in the grass and helped me out. She got an eyeful as I applied a bit of bodyglide, but that is the reward of volunteering, right! What would you do differently?: Nothing  Bike
Comments: This is my weak leg. My goal on this bike ride was keep it very easy, keep nutrition on target, and save it for the run. What would you do differently?: I could have pushed harder, but this felt very comfortable and easy. I wanted it that way. Transition 2
Comments: One of my training friends and teammates was my bike-to-run transition volunteer. He had my bag and directed me to a chair. I put on new socks and lots of glide on my feet. He put all my bike gear back in my bag and off I went. With a big smile! In my mind, it was showtime! What would you do differently?: Nothing.  Run
Comments: Considering my marathon PR is a 3:54, I nailed this run. I felt good, other than a moment of side cramps, I kept running until mile 20. Between 20 and finish, I walked aid stations and ran between them. What would you do differently?: Maybe skip a few aid stations and keep running. Post race
Warm down: Medic tent to tend blisters on feet. Event comments: Anthony Christianson, you are an Ironman! Last updated: 2012-11-20 12:00 AM

Up at 4AM, had some coffee and oatmeal. Drove to TTL. I dropped off my special needs bags and got my bike tires inflated. I put nutrition on bike and headed to porta-potties. They were way too crowded, so I just put my wetsuit on and waited to get into the water. Wink, wink.
Swam to my spot.
