The race yesterday went pretty well. Set a Half Iron PR of 5:32! After my swim I wasnt very optimistic about ending with a good time, but things ended up OK.
Swim - 40 Minutes...well behid my goal time of 35 minutes. Water was pretty choppy and you had to fight it on the way back into shore. Had my goggles knocked off 3 times and almost threw up one from taking to too much lake water. Was finally able to get into a goove on the way back into shore, but it was a little late. The good thing is that not too many people had a good swim so I wasnt that far behind.
Bike - 2:49...Nice bike course, out and back, shaped like a giant "L". Had the wind at your back twice and in your face twice. You could really fly when it was at your back.
Run - 1:58...By this time it was getting HOT. Out and back course around the lake and a nearby gold course. Great volunteer support and plenty of well stocked aid stations. The temp was getting into the mid 90's, so they were all well needed. Felt really good other than about miles 11.5 - 12.5 (stomach cramps), but by that time you could see the finish so it was easy to go hard for the last few minutes.
Solid race that I would recomend to enter.
