Ironman Wisconsin

Swim
The day started with a new perspective. After the entire morning everyone was emotional due to 9/11 remembrance. I was going to have fun and joy today's finish. I arrived at to the swim start with a great attitude and ready to hustle threw. The swim start was easy cause I took the wide route to avoid people. It was nice and smooth.

Transition - 1
You are freaking kidding me... running up a helix!!!! It felt like it never ended!!! It was really smooth and it was inside the expo.

Bike
I held back holding my wattage at key... however... it is a very really course and windy. However, it felt really good with a high cadence. In the middle of the bike, my seat dropped and had to get off and fix it. Came off the bike and my legs felt half and half.

Transition - 2
Tried to get out of there as quickly as possible.

Run
I had to race belt numbers on... one with just my race number and the race belt with my nutrition packet.
At mile number 5... I gave one of my race numbers to a volunteer so he can throw away.
I kept a steady pace until out of nowhere, i find a mountain in the middle of the run. Who put this here.... it was here last year!
Kept it nice and steady and at the half way point I was 1:50 min... I knew I was going to break the four hour mark at the marathon.
The heat was getting more intense, when I got to mile 20.... I was getting really nauseas. I had to slow down from 20 - 23. I made very good friends with a guy from Minn. We chatted and I started hitting him over the head cause he didn't have any salt tabs... then we talked about the weather and how dumb he was for coming unprepared. Then I forced him to run with me cause I was sharing all of my nutrition with him. I felt bad for the guy. At mile 25 he was holding me back so I took of and told him that I will wait for him at the finish line.

I crossed the finish line feeling great... however, I was starving. I went to the athlete tent and had one slice of pizza. then went to the vip tent and had three plates of food and 5 little desserts. At 11 pm I had 2 granola bars.... and I was still hungry!

Timing
I pulled up my results and realized that my times weren't showing up... HOLY SHIT! I went to the timing tent and they told me that a volunteer gave my number in. The volunteer told him that I gave my number and I dropped. Really!! They fixed and my results showed up.
