 Swim
Comments: great swim What would you do differently?: nothing  Transition 1
Comments: good t-1  Bike
Comments: I had 4 flats and was not pleased at all that I did not see 1 support vehicle out to help. I had 2 people stop and give me tubes and co2, if they had not done that I woild have been stranded. I was on the side of the road 45 min before someone actually stop to give the 3rd tube to me and that is too long without fluides so there for I was dehydrated and cramping. By the time I got back to t-2 I was done and could not go any more do to the cramps and mind set. So I was not happy at all with the race. I understand that some may be my fault but i put allot on the race for not have the support and not marking the major pot holes on the course. What would you do differently?: not have flats, if that is possible Transition 2

Event comments: They really need to rethink this race and have more help. I know this is a tough course but support is a must on a course like this and they did not provide it. I know it is a individual sport but when you have lots of trouble like I did the support needs to be there and not leave you out there for that long to fin for your self.

Regular 87 San Antonio | Subject: RE: Buffalo Springs Lake Ironman 70.3 Dude Bad luck on the bike. Always sucks when the road turns against you and eats the tires. Sounds like a good reason to buy not only new tires but wheels also  |

Regular 114 | Subject: RE: Buffalo Springs Lake Ironman 70.3 Wow...... 4 flats is some bad luck for sure...... I guess good side is that your issues weren't physically related. I never saw support vehicles either actually. |
