Ironman California 70.3

The race went really well. I finished in 5:37:32...well undr goal of 6 hours.

I am pleased with the race and my effort. I do think that I could have bettered my time by 10-20 minutes.

I had trouble spotting the bouys on the swim and wasnt keeping a straight line, pus saltwater taste horrible.

My new bike performed really well. Once I get more time in the saddle I think I will be able to push it a bit harder.

Ended up running 8:24 miles on the run. Not bad, but I was hoping to be closer to 8 flat. My pace was up and down, so I need to stay more consistent in my pace.

Great way to start the season. Taking this week off, then going to bust my ass to get ready for the Big O Half here in KC on May 6th. I think a goal of 5:15 is realistic.

Photos to come when Dad emails them to me.
