Effectively walked this entire half marathon. This was the first time I did anything close to this distance, so I am not sure I was adequately prepared. But wanted to finish, so that's what I did. It was far from pretty.

Event comments:

I love this race. This being my first HIM, I really had no idea what to expect. The logistics are complicated for the first timer, but everything was well thought out and executed. The race overall is a great race and would definitely do it again.

My issue is that I am currently deployed and training outside is proving difficult, especially on the bike. I have found a safe 10km running loop but I am struggling with the bike training.

I strained by lower back last week. I know that I need to rest in order for it to heal fully, but I am concerned that I am going to lose needed fitness for the race. Will this affect my performance?

With stroke improvements I find that when I try and swim long I have lost any speed gains that I had because my stroke count just creeps up and up. I also feel like I'm running out of air.
