Swim
Comments: Rough seas, 3ft viz, zig zag swim route and shallow water where fingers scrapped the bottom now and then What would you do differently?: My swim was good considering todays swim condition Transition 1
Comments: This was my first 1/2 Iron Man distance T1 and I spent lots of time making sure that everything was just right before I started the bike. What would you do differently?: nothing Bike
What would you do differently?: Drink more during the ride Transition 2
Comments: Once again I spent lots of time eating/drinking and making sure I had everything ready for the run before I left the bike. What would you do differently?: Drink more at the very beginning of T2. I was happy with my prep. Run
Comments: The run went ok for me till the last 2-3mi. We couldn't find the last 2-3mi race route OR finish OR parking the day before, so I didn't realize that the run course ran us right past the finish THEN another aprox 2mi through down town Key West. I finished my drink and gels when I saw the finish line the first time and had to run the last 2mi with no drink or gels back around to the finish. What would you do differently?: Carry more than 4 gels as I ran out of fuel before the race end. Drink more Gatoraide. Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster: Not eating and drinking enough. Not knowing the last 2mi of the run course. Event comments: This was my 1st 1/2 Iron distance race and I won my 60-64AG, so I was very happy. Last updated: 2013-01-13 12:00 AM
