Comments:

start was brutal, the roughest I have been in. I think I was too far to the right (off of straight line).

What would you do differently?:

line up closer to the faster swimmers at the start.

Transition 1

04m 2s

Comments:

trouble getting suit over watch.

What would you do differently?:

Have to figure out how my new watch should be worn on the swim to be able to remove the suit easier.

Bike

5h 31m 23s
112 miles
20.28 mile/hr

Comments:

felt like I was holding back first 75 miles, great strategy and was absolutely the right pace.

Transition 2

04m 32s

Run

3h 40m 24s
26.2 miles
08m 25s min/mile

Comments:

felt great off of the bike. First 3 miles were sub 7:30 and felt like I was holding back.

What would you do differently?:

I used fuel belt with 3 gels in 3 bottles (with water) and 1 bottle with just water. Took a hit (about 1 gels worth) every 20 minutes. Worked perfectly. Would consider having additional bottles with gels in special needs bag. Maybe 2 with gel and 2 with water. Had to walk through several aid stations on the 2nd loop because I needed fluids for the gels.

Post race

Warm down:

massage

What limited your ability to perform faster:

needed fluid and had to walk through 4 aid stations on second loop

Solid race! You ever chafe up much from running a long distance with the fuel belt. Mine always leaves battle scars around my torso. You slammed the run and picked up a ton of spots. Congrats. You've put together an incredible race. Grats Ironman!
