Wasn’t happy with the ride. Lots of wind today sapping my speed. I think I left something out on the road today, because my legs weren’t dead at the end. But every time I tried to pick it up my legs didn’t want to respond. I think they were tired.
I also tried the strategy in my ironman book of easy for first 30, moderate for next 30, then pick it up for the next 30. Didn’t have a lot of go there at the end, but maybe I did and didn’t dig for it?
Anyway, I guess it was an endurance ride anyway. I have a couple more weeks to go fast.

It was hot, and I fell behind on my hydration around mile 14.
The reason why I went farther is because I had a long pit stop at mile 15 (bowels moving), and some water and I felt great after (I was hurting quite a bit right before mile 15, due mainly to the bowels and dehydration). So I pushed it a little.
No issues.
I got stung by a bee on the shoulder during my final 1/4 mile—awesome.

I’ve decided to start writing short stories with every entry like Juli. Maybe it will make me faster. Today I ran in the dark. It’s harder because I can’t see where to place each step like I usually concentrate on. I also learned that I will not be eating deep-fried Mexican food the day of (or even the day before) the ironman, because it makes me burp all the way through my run, and I have to hold down the vomit and I can’t hydrate and I get mad stomach cramps.
No knee problems today. I felt my upper thigh/groin pull at mile 3, but it never got bad.
The end.

Felt great. Could have gone farther. Nice knee-saving easy pace, with no Juli which took the edge off.
42 oz and 325 cal for 28 oz/hr and 216 cal/hr
Had mild upper thigh/groin strain at mile 8 that never got bad, but will monitor.
(Timing may be off, watch problem. It may have been a bit faster, but maybe not.)

Swim: Fun time, no wetsuits. Haven’t done a lot of open water swimming (read: none). I got to sight a big blue kayak 20 feet in front of me that was leading the swim course which helped. Exited first which was the highlight of the day, but I went faster than I wanted too. I was too excited about winning the swim though.
Bike: I left with another guy that caught me in transition (more on him later). He took off like lightning. 2 other people passed me within 10 miles (but no one else). I hammered the bike, but felt that it was a steady pace hammering. I caught lightning guy at mile 30, which felt great. I felt kind of guilty going out pretty fast on the bike (“Racing long” tells me to take the first quater of the bike easy), but I kept it up and the legs felt good, so maybe it was ok. I was in third place after the bike. I couldn’t believe that I averaged 21.1 mph. Most of my training rides in the mountains of Roanoke, VA average 15-16. I didn’t think I could ride that fast, but it was fun to ride without big hills!
Run: First two miles were painful. Then I caught a great rhythm, and the next 5 were great. Finishing the last five miles was extremely difficult. I wanted to walk bad, but didn’t let myself. I started off the run with a gel, and another at mile 2, and was drinking HEED at the aid stations. I got a bad side cramp at mile 3 and then another one. These 2 side cramps stayed with me until mile 8 or so. But I switched to water, and no more HEED or gels. I think that helped. I had a calf cramp at mile 11 that struck so fast, it almost took me to the ground. But I slowed a bit, and it went away not to return. My ITB was hurting the last mile or two, but not that much, since I could still run. The finish with the family there was sweet. 8:33 miles, which is really good for me.
General: This was my first triathlon, and I did much better than I expected. I wanted to break 6 hours when I started. I wanted to use this race as preparation for IMKY next year (i.e. ironman length pacing and heart rate zone). But my place in the small field kept me going faster and faster with delusions of grandeur. My RPE was much higher than I wanted in all 3 legs. I was happy with it though.
Fueling/Hydration
I wanted to take in 30 oz/hr, and 300 cal/hr.
I drank 36 oz gatorade, 60 oz H20 on the bike. And drank 6 oz of H2O or Heed on the run every 1.5 miles. So I thought my hydration was OK. However, I only peed once (at mile 4 of the run). Shouldn’t I be peeing once an hour if I’m properly hydrated?
I ate 4 gu, 1 powerbar, on the bike. + gatorade = 780 cal/3 hrs = 260 cal/hr for swim/bike.
I ate 2 gu, and several 6 oz cups of HEED on the run = 300 cal/2 hrs = 150 cal/hr on the run.
I think this hurt me a lot, as my last 5 miles were so horrible. I was probably underfueled on the run. But I think I took in as much fuel as I could on the run without vomiting, and worsening my side cramps. Do I need to eat more on the bike to build a calorie buffer? Or just suck it up and eat more on the run?
All told, it was a great day. And I am very happy with my race.

ITB Perfect
The run was effortless. I could have gone all day long.
Total
5 hours.
I took in 48 oz H20, and 300 calories in first hour (1 gu, 1 pastry).
I took in 60 oz fluid (48 gatorade, 12 H20), and 600 calories (3 gu, 300 cal from gatorade) over next 2:11.
I took in 50 oz fluid (44 gatorade, 6 H20), and 400 calories (1 gu, rest from gatorade) over 1:35 run.
I urinated at 2:00, 3:15 and at end of triathlon. So I think I may have taken in too much fluid at beginning?? According to my calculations, I should first urinate at about hour 4 and then once per hour if I’m properly hydrated?? But I’m not sure about this.
Overall, this is the first workout I’ve ever done, where I was even close to properly hydrated and fueled. And I started at 7AM, with a cool day. It felt great. I honestly could have gone all day, and afterwards I barely felt like I worked out at all (I did not feel hungry, thirsty, or tired/worn-out/hurting after workout. I usually down a gatorade and a 40-50 oz recovery shake, and some food ravenously after a long workout. Today, I got down the shake and a banana, but defintely did have an appetite for them. Kind of sad really, I like that post-workout ravenous appetite.)
What a day.
P.S. I didn’t carbo load (only a potato), and went to bed late (11:15 PM). Whoops.

My ITB hasn’t feel great all weekend due to my Friday run. During this run I felt it smoldering the entire time, but it never hurt (except for about 2 isolated brief moments). I took it very slow to go easy on my ITB, and it didn’t act up enough to hamper my run. I think this was a very successful run, as it’s the farthest I’ve gone, the longest I’ve run, and I didn’t hurt myself!
