Subject: RE: Ironman ArizonaSo, how did you all do? Including volunteers...
I was tired after 3 laps on the bike course on the motorcycle. My shoulders were aching and my legs were stiff. I can't imagine what the riders felt like.
I stuck around cheering at the bike-run transition for awhile, then I went to the finish line and watched the first winners come across (everyone that crossed the finish line was a winner in my mind ). I spent too long in the sun and managed to give myself a mild case of sun/heatstroke and by the time I got home was not able to eat supper and was in bed by 8:30. I did spend over 12 hours out there at the races.
OK, what about the rest of you folks? I saw a LOT of flat tires and people told me that it was a higher than usual number of flats. Did you guys experience the same? What was the cause, any guesses? Did that wind suck on the bike even worse for you than it did for me on the moto?
Talk to me people, I want the details. |
