Leading up to the race, I had to rest for a cold when I should have been doing my last bit of vital training! Also getting caught up with winning and training for shorter distance, I had neglected my long distance training!!
Swim
7am start, 1300 people running into the water!
I got bashed about alot in the first 900m, but I kept moving!
First lap in 31 minutes, I was happy with this since I got knocked about alot!
the second lap I didn't feel tired but I decided to sit on peoples feet and draft to conserve my energy!
Swim time 1:03
T1
I ran up into transition, grabbed my bag, my wetsuit already off! helmet on and ran with my cycle shoes to my bike!
5 minutes
Bike
With my ergomo power meter, I was constantly watching my watts. It was reading 300 and over all the time with people passing me! In my traing rides if I went over 260watts average I would blow by mile 80!
But I couldn't keep my wattage down, but I felt really good so I thought I'd see how I get on at this pace!
The cycle around the island was great, much better views than the normal farms and trees!
Cycling up the volcanoes was amazing, at one point we was actually in the clouds!
And the descents were scary!!
Time 6:45
Run
So 6:45 was a bit slow but I felt great I didn't hit the wall at all!!!
Well until after 10k on the run!
I ran a pace of 4:30 minutes per kilometre, but after 50 minutes it was run for a while then walk until someone pats me on the back to continue running!!
I don't remeber much more than that, it was all to traumatising!!
Run time 4:10
Ironman Lanzarote 12:09
