 Swim
Comments: swim went ok, was pretty happy with my time when I got out of the water. my hamstrings and legs cramped up around the turn buoy, but got them worked out and was able to continue swimming. What would you do differently?: probably get some more time in my wetsuit, I hadn't swam in it for 2 months, I think that's why I got the cramps in my legs  Transition 1
Comments: pretty slow transition, I didn't go into the changing tent, it looked pretty crowded. took the time to dry off and wipe my feet off good. put on arm warmers, went to the bathroom then headed for the bike What would you do differently?: probably go ahead and go in the changing tent and sit down. i think I was slow because I was trying to do everything standing up.  Bike
Comments: I said I was going to be conservative on the bike and I really was. Too conservative. not happy with the bike time. I didn't ride the course very well technically either, should have spent a little more time in my big gear. I also spent about 17 minutes in line for porta potty's, need to speed that process up a little What would you do differently?: Need to do more strengh training on the bike. I have gotten significantly slower this year, just focussing on riding long.. Transition 2
Comments: legs felt pretty toasted getting off the bike. grabbed bag and headed for changing tent. took off bike jersey and put tank top and visor on. went to the bathroom, took off running  Run
Comments: This was also my first marathon, I never believed I could run the whole thing. I walked through the aid stations, then took a 30 sec walk break inbetween. water and gatorade/coke at every aid station. kept a steady pace the whole way. got really hard after mile 18, legs were killing me, but took it 1 mile at a time, and got to the finish! What would you do differently?: I feel I executed the run as well as I could have. My HR was really low, I probably could have ran a little faster. but i'll take it! Post race
Warm down: Food wasn't sitting well afterwards, felt a little pukey while trying to eat, was finally able to eat some pizza crusts and soup. everything felt OK, but when I sat down, the first bites of food wanted to come back up. What limited your ability to perform faster: nothing. Event comments: This was my first marathon and first Ironman. Loved this race and all the volunteers and the city of Louisville. it was outstanding! Profile Album Last updated: 2016-02-11 12:00 AM
