IMLP - 12:56

A full race report is upcoming but until then here is a quickie IMLP race report.


Swim – 1:22:04
Over 2600 people in the water, I got beat up, I did some beating up, did not swim in a straight line, my right shoulder popped but my full wetsuit helped keep it in and functional.

T1 – 10:47
Spent way too much time here. Cycling top zipper stuck. Got nice and lubed.

Bike – 6:46:47
Back did not hurt at all. Rode very easy. Avg hr 140's.

T2 – 8:19
Did a complete gear change. Lubed from top to bottom

Run – 4:28:11
Again, kept it totally in the 150-155 range. All manageable aerobic pace. Best run at an Ironman.

Final time – 12:56:08. Best at IMLP. Great note to end on.

The full report is here.
