Race Report: Pig Man 70.3
Short version - swam OK, rode well, didn't run well.
Full version -
Swim: came in 3 minute or so over my goal time on the swim. Learning how to swim in a straight line in open water would help a ton. No need to swim any extra distance in these races. Race was wetsuit legal, so that was nice. Swim split = 38 minutes & change
Bike: Beat my goal time by 8 minutes. I was pretty pleased with my ride. Course had a few more hills than advertised, but nothing too bad. Had a great fan base on the course. I think I saw the family 4 or 5 times, that always lifts the spirits. Weather was pretty nice, but was begining to warm up by the end of the ride. Bike Split = 2:54...19.3 MPH pace
Run: Ouch. It wasnt my day on the run course. Nothing much to say about that. It got fairly hot and I didnt have much energy left. Bonked hard. Run Split = 2:26...11:13 pace.
Need to pay more attention to my nutrition, both on a day to day basis and in days leading up to the race. I think that will have a big impact on results.
Final Time = 6:03. Not the best race, not the worst. Just need to do better next time.

Heat...
OK - so Kansas in August is way to hot. Started a 70 mile ride about 7 AM, and by 10:30 - 11:00 the heat index was over 90. The temp on my Cateye registered 100 at one point. Ouch.
JoCo Bike Club puts on great events, but from now on the long rides / bricks will be starting the minute there is enough sun to be safe on the roads.
Got in a 16 mile run with Fish on Saturday morning then just short of 70 today. Planning on about 45 M Bike / 8 M Run bring next Sat then a 8 - 10 slow run on Sunday to get ready for Pig Man in 14 days.
Should be a fun race. 4/5 other KCMers will be there to compete. Team Madison will be there and I am sure we will have fun celebrating IPOD's 3rd birthday. WIll be nice to have the boys at a race this year.
