did Edmonton, did Mont tremblant world's

did well at MT.  6th in AG.  I held back on the bike and managed to pass LOTS of folks in the run, although I was 8th on the bike.  3rd out of water which is truly amazing as I missed the start of the wave!  (34 minutes at 1:49/100m)  Could I have held back too much?

 ok, Maryland IM.  two weeks.  any modification to plan for this?  I'm thinking chill, and short speed work.  Your thoughts?

 

thanks!

    6th on the world has a nice ring to it. :) and I love the execution!!? Can tell you on holding back; that course is tough. My friend went from 2nd to 5th in last KM of the run. KILOMETER! :( I like your version better.

    Chill thru Friday then you have a handful of days before MD travel. Do what you like...but I'd spend a healthy amount of time making sure my bike was all set, etc. Travel can wreak havoc!

I have no idea if they were in my age group but I think the Brit I passed going up that last hill on the run into the village was image

    I remember doing the full IMMT in 2012 and we had this lovely flat run out and back but a very uncomfortable hill to head back to town for each loop. that was hard! thank goodness this was short. did yo have to do a hill at the end of the full?

    I just downloaded the run and my heart rate average was 158 with max of 168 for the last 30 minutes.  Whew!  I'm turning into a humming bird!  My pace was still pretty ordinary for me at end of a half ironman but I guess I was pushing pretty hard?  or maybe I was just too excited to be done :)
