Well... 6:27, only the second time over 6 for a middle.
SWIM TRANS1 BIKE TRANS2 RUN
0:43:02 0:03:28 3:10:11 0:01:40 2:28:48
Ok swim, includes the run up the hill to transition and quite choppy
conditions. Good bike, very hilly especially last 12 miles, was focused on
maintaining good cadence, all those one legged drills have improved my
pedal stroke a lot. Absolutely woeful run, first 3 miles ok and then it
all went horribly wrong. I think the causes were (in order) 1. left my
legs on the bike 2.Terrible stomach cramps and diarrhoea and spent the
last 3 miles clenching everything to hold it in. I was trying Powerbars as
my food so its back to Go-bars 3. It was very hot about 85F and I was
sunburnt. Enough excuses.
A great event, very tough but with a real feel good atmosphere. Everyone
camps as it is a long long way to the nearest town. I think
the naked girls at about 5 miles into the run helped a lot. Also a thanks
to the woman who told me a dirty joke at about 11 miles! Lots of naked men
running throuh the campsite later that night although I'm probably giving
you the wrong picture of the event.
