7am Start - Half-Ironman distance
- swim - 1983 yds. - 36:28
- bike - 55.85 miles - 3:14:09
- run - 13.1 miles - 2:26:44
Total Time: 6:26:49
Much better fuel consumption overnight and during the bike. I also paced myself better which led to running most of the 13.1 except for the steeper hills. Outside of the traditional gels and endurance food, the name of the game for me is salt, salt, salt. All a learning experience and another great weekend.
Overall this was a challenging course and weekend. Each 6.55-mile run out and back contained 873' of elevation gain/loss. The bike course gained 5651' over the 110-ish miles. Swimming stayed a consistent pace throughout the weekend for me at 1:47-1:50/100yds.
I did finish 3rd out of 8 in my age group of 35-39. I was 7th going into Sunday and I saw many people fade big time during this 3rd day along with numerous DNF's. Bike crashes also took out few competitors not being use to tight turns, fast downhills and varying roads.
Now it is time to rest for a couple of days. My body doesn't hurt, just very tired.
