  1. You’ve learned a lot for next time too. It’s hard to describe that level of fatigue. You just have to go through it to appreciate it. My first 70.3 was 6:30 and my third was 5:29:55.
  2. 6 more miles on the run and he is done. Will be a little over 6 hours. He is in the pain cave.
  3. Pearlhandhorn is just past halfway point on the bike and he has sped up a little. Depending on run he will hit his goal of sub 6 hours if everything keeps going the way it should.
  4. I thought you had the same setup as me. When you get home take it off your bike and rinse it out. That hydration system is a game changer as you can stay in aero. Make sure and call out your intentions on bike tomorrow. There will be a lot of people on the course and common sense goes out the window.
  5. 2 bottles on your bike is enough fluids so don’t stop. You’ve done the work. Trust the plan.
  6. Forgot to mention bring your own pump tomorrow to air up tires. Put one of your stickers on it so it doesn’t get lost. Don’t get suckered into people blowing by you on the bike. You will pass them back on the run if you stick to your plan. Drink more than you think you should on bike.
  7. As I am on my 8th beer and down $300 for the day in gambling I am jealous you are racing tomorrow.
  8. Just coming to post that you are in the “ why am I doing this phase”. Drink electrolytes and stay off of your feet after you drop $200 in the tent on clothing. Eat your last meal around 5 and toss and turn all night in bed. Wake up early to force a shit out. #sub6wecoming
  9. Goddamnit. Now he is commenting on the floods in Tennessee and claiming FEMA is blocking people from helping and people think it’s true.
  10. I was going to say make a list and check it off as it is packed into RV. I would bring extra gels and shit because things will get lost.
  11. Did an hour spin at an easy pace and had a calming feeling that this shit is over for a little bit. Looking forward to tracking Pearlandhorn Sunday.
  12. Pretzels and chips and water. They finally had one aid station with caffeinated gels and I was good. The salt had done most of the work at that point. The longer you walk the harder it is to start back running so I kept giving myself landmarks to get to.
  13. I was in a dark place mile 13-20 and had a lady grab me before I walked into traffic as I was bonking. I even slowed my pace down on the first 13 and still ran a 1:51 ish. There are 4 big hills that aren’t a joke. It rained all fucking day and it was cold and windy. It really poured in the middle of run and I started shivering. My one piece of advice is bring your own running gels. It’s never really affected me on the 70.3 but the Maurten’s they were passing out were non caffeinated and that fucked me up. I thought about you in the middle of my 6 mile walk. I was like yeah he knows I’m feeling it.
  14. So age groupers start at 8:42 and we go in numerical order with 2 riders leaving every 5 seconds. They will be taking a rack of people at a time. I won’t be waiting too long.
  15. You are ready. I’m excited for you as well.
  16. With an above average cocksucker for a coach.
  17. Thanks man and I appreciate it. Still disappointed but it will be fun tomorrow. My ride home already has the car beers chillin in the car cooler. Sub 6 on bike and sub 4 run. I could probably average 20.5 on bike but saving legs and hanging around 19
  18. We ready
  19. That’s pretty much it. Get your mind right and get a good brick in tomorrow.
  20. Thinking about it. I need to clear my head. My buddy who did Kona said 6 weeks might not be enough rest in between and I haven’t swam in ocean
  21. They did that at Oceanside because they never should have attempted the swim. Ironman is a business and you know it’s a risk when you sign up. My buddy at the airport said he saw a good crowd trying to get flights out. I am too cheap to walk away from shit like that b
  22. I need to get over it. They didn't have a choice as the tributaries that feed into the Tennessee were already stressed and some of the rain stayed longer the past few days. It rained 4 inches last night at my house and will rain for awhile today. I am sure I will be disappointed until race morning. Panama City has a full first of November but I really don't know if I want to spend another $,1000 on entry fees. I really wish Ironman would offer us a small discount but they won't. I am going to see how I feel after Sunday and make a decision.
  23. The swim is canceled. I don’t even want to do this shit now.
  24. I’m sure you will get a little emotional as you have put in the work also. My first words after my first 70.3 was that there was nothing half about a half Ironman.
