 Posted: 06/06/05 - 15:18 Post subject: mooseman I am- mooseman 1/2 IM
Well Dancer submitted a nice detailed report and I will submit my highlights and lowlights of the day.......
Total time 5:35, slower than my one and only 1/2 IM in 2002 but this course was so much tougher and 90 plus degree weather did not help.
Swam well and much faster than I ever have before, felt comfortable and did not get beat up too much. Will never be a fish though, 34:31 for the 1.2 mile splash, with a pleasant 60 degree water temp. A 4 minute PR on this distance.
T1-3:19, no complaints
Bike-total time of 3:06 for the 56 miles, first lap was 1:30 and second 1:36, was feeling those hills by the end. Could have probably ate more on the bike. Did I mention the sun beating down on us?? Definitely harder bike course than IMLP.
T2-1:59, looking forward to running
Run- hmmm what happened to running being my comfortable sport?? First 2 miles were hell with the sun, being a little undernourished, and just darn tired, actually started thinking about quitting which I never really think about.......finally after many waters and dumps of water on my head, as well as some Gu, I finally got in a rhythm about mile 3.5 finally started to feel comfortable and started to pass others. First lap 55 minutes second lap 54 minutes but feeling o so much stronger. Total run time 1:49 for 13.1, slow for me but with the limited running I have been doing due to an injury(longest run to date has been 1:40) cannot complain.
Takeaways:
Pretty darn proud of pulling myself out of pretty dark place mentally and physically during the run.
7 weeks to IMLP must focus on more running time and work on some bike hill repeats.
Thrilled with my swimming right now, could I PR in IMLP for the swim and go under 1:20??
overall on schedule for IMLP and feeling remotivated
the numbers:
Total time: 5:35
173rd out of 395, 37 out of 66 in my age group
that is all

Mike you did awesome! I loved seeing you on the run but I almost cried the first time I saw you! And I noticed a sponge under your hat: said to myself. Girl, go get yourself a sponge. Helped keep me cool during the 2nd lap.
Repeat after me: "I will not sign up for IM2006...I will not sign up for IM2006...I will not sign up for IM2006..."

HELLA YA H2T!!
What can I say? For what it's worth, you still come out of this 1/2 IM with outstanding results for it being a harder course and you're having to deal with running challenges right now! You did it, you did it, you did it! Gear up for IMLP!
Fantastic!
