Awesome bike course, very fast. Even with low tire pressure 70-80psi i was impressed with my ride.

Comments:

Rough run, kept a very positive attitude though and i felt that got me to the finish. I was having numb foot, headake (probably from no sunglasses) and over heating issues in the run. The 2nd loop felt better since i was able to get a lot of fluids into me and cool down.
What would you do differently?:

Pratice more running and bike to run bricks.
Post race
Warm down:

FOUND SHADE

What limited your ability to perform faster:

This was my first 70.3 so i didnt want to kill my self. It was also very hot and not having sunglass really threw me off.

Event comments:

Lost sungalsses, low tire pressue due to broken valve stem, over heating on run, numb foot...it was a rough but awesome day and next time i will be better prepaired.\

I think the finish line could have been better, i was pretty suprised when i rounded the corner and it was there.

Some mistakes I made during the Hawaii Ironman 70.3. Don't be caught out on the course not knowing how or not having the equipment to change a flat tire.

It was the morning of Ironman Newfoundland 70.3, I felt queasy. I didn't want to eat or drink anything. I had a full blown case of the pre-race HEEBEE GEEBEES.
