Ironman Lake Placid - Triathlon

I was all over the place as usual. Also, I spent a lot of time bashing into people. Probably cost me at least 4 or 5 min overall.

Sight better, needed a bit better swim fitness. My stroke is getting better but still has a long way to go.

I didn't need the arm warmers I put on but that didn't cost a lot of time. There was a crash leaving T1 in front of me but nothing I could do about it.

No arm warmers, could have been faster in general. I took too long to do everything

Great bike. I loved the course and the fans were awesome. The road had some rough spots but the bike dealt with them. I did have to break a couple times during the long descents into Keene but this wasn't too much of a momentum killer.

Probably overcooked on the bike a bit that hurt my run. Could stand to pace a little better but overall it was much better than IMCDA so I'm happy with it.

Volunteers basically did everything for me. It was awesome.

I was dehydrated during the run, not too much so but enough to mess with me a bit. Overall nutrition was good though as I was able to get a lot of calories in.

Pace the bike better and run this whole thing all the way through (minus the 2 big hills)

Party Time, had a fun time at the finish line when a squall moved in to rain on my parade though. No worries though off to the Icehouse to shower and rest then to the finisher party which was awesome.


My legs didn't seem to have the distance in them for the run. I think the bike may have contributed but I needed a few more long runs also.


What an awesome venue for an awesome race. It's pretty tough but it was well worth doing.
