ML's 2015 IMFLA RR
As usual, it was great to meet some more amazing EN'ers.
Not exactly the day I had planned, some things I can fix/work on, some things are just dumb luck!
Race morning- The Desoto shorts, that I was going to wear all day to minimize T time, had a seam come apart at the pad while I was dressing??? Plan B meant that I was changing in transition.
Swim- 1:39:xx I didn't wear a wetsuit, hindsight says I should've. On the second loop, at the sand bar got torpedoed in the ribs by another competitor( No one's fault). The ribs would affect my whole day. Other than that the swim went ok, sometimes I freak out a little in crowds, but I didn't , and I was in a crowd the whole time.
T-1 13:19 I had to change, when I had planned not to-just wasted time. I'll have a better plan B in the future.
Bike- 6:33:xx Bike was fairly uneventful, my ribs were bothering me a little, power off a little( IF .58, VI 1.07), and HR stayed fairly low ~130 bpm. Nutrition plan went well, p'ed 3x (not on bike).
T-2 9:51 Same as T-1
Run- 6:34:xx This is where things got difficult, just couldn't take the pounding. Run/walk to get done.
Total: 15:11:42
