Comments:

TT swim start which was great never hit a single person the whole race. Chop was bad at times. Used this swim as an Ironman pace swim to see where I was at it was only the 2nd time this year I have swam this far.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing, could have went faster but was pleased just pacing.

Comments:

took my time in T1 had to pee so bad, stopped in the port a pot and used the restroom.
What would you do differently?:

bathroom break could have easily shaved 2 minutes off T1 if I was trying to be competitive.

Comments:

Did what I wanted to do held my Ironman aver. for the course. The 3rd lap was much harder with the wind picking up and heat. Course has enough hills to slow you a little, but overall good ride. No doubt if I was doing the sprint could have aver. 22-23 mph.
What would you do differently?:

nothing just stayed steady and did not work out of conversation pace.
Transition 2
  • 02m 3s
Comments:

took my time again not trying to rush T2 put on the garmin and ran with bike shoes on. Once again if this was a sprint or I was racing to win I would have cut a good 45 seconds
What would you do differently?:

nothing all prep for IM
Run

  • 9.4 miles
  • 09m 02s  min/mile
Comments:

started off good first 3 miles aver pace was 8:15, started to cramp in the VMO muscle which was a first and had to start walking. battled cramps off and on from that point. Still held a 4 hour Ironman marathon pace which was my goal so I was pleased. Very surprised with the walking and heat that I was still able to run ok.
What would you do differently?:

still recovering from injuries and plantar fasciitis. This was my second longest run since march so I will take it.
Post race
Warm down:

went and stood in the water than ate and waited on awards

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Wasn't racing this event just trying to get my pacing down and wanted to see how I would run since battling foot problems.

Event comments:

Race was ok we started at 9 am and were suppose to go off at 8:20. not many port a pots which caused huge lines. Long lines a packet pick up and chip pick up. Overall nice event with lots of race options
