YOU ROCK!!!!
Some of you stalked me today, thank you! I asked you to :)
So here is a quick recap of what went down today:
- Peed my pants three times
- Ate 11 Chocolate Gu's.
- Blew a bunch of snot rockets on the bike.
- UUUUuuuuuuuummmmm......
- Am totally hyper and loopy and coked up on caffeine @ the moment from the 11 Chocolate Gu's ;)
- And did a Half Ironman!
Went 5:08:20 total
Swim: 34:12
T1: 2:00
Bike: 2:41:40
T2: 2:45
Run: 1:47:43
That is a ~47 min improvement over last year's Timberman experience, my first Half Ironman, and a 24 min PR for the distance over my New Orleans time from April earlier this year.
It was 70 degrees and overcast the entire day with some downpours on the bike. Couldn't have asked for better racing conditions! I am serious, btw, I like racing in the rain. It keeps me cool = I go faster!
Full race report will be up soon.
Chrissie said "NO," but I did get a picture with her.....will have to find it in the lost & found most likely.
.....I never asked her. hehe
Awesome, awesome job...congrats!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the PR!
ReplyDeleteWay to go Jon! All 3 splits are incredible and a 47m improvement is just rediculous -- well done!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I did track you and was impressed! You killed it. So 11 chocolate Gu-s worked out well. good, bc I am going to eat about 6 of them myself!
ReplyDeleteCongrats again! You are improving a ton!
WOW, you did such a great job! I am so excited for you and glad that I could provide you a little bit of motivation to get you there!
ReplyDeleteNow enjoy your accomplishment!
Ironman.com makes it so easy to stalk people. You killed it today Jon,great job!
ReplyDeleteWell, first off, I'm sorry that Chrissie said "No". Perhaps she was just that jealous of your time and wants to be a relationship where she knows that she won't have any competition. :)
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you had the perfect race - Congrats! Not that I surprised though - you really trained your ass off.
Enjoy your rest!
Nice work! I stalked you and Mandy throughout the day and you both moved along nicely.
ReplyDeleteDude, it doesn't matter if you would have asked Chrissie, 'cause she would have said no. She already told me yes...ok, that may or may not be a lie...anyway, huge congrats!
