Did my first half iron this morning. Had a decent swim (despite no wetsuit), super strong bike (nailed my target power at 261 AP/266 NP ~ 80%FTP at 2:18), but fell off the run. I started really strong coming off the bike. My first three miles were at my goal pace (7:00/pace) but it quickly deteriorated due to side stitches. I did a walk/run routine and hobbled in with a 1:49.
I can't get too caught up in it, it was my first race at this distance. But obviously not hitting my target pace leaves me ready to put in work and fix what I need to fix.
I used a concentrated bottle of an Infinit custom blend. One serving is 291 calories, so I had 2.5 servings in a bottle and used about 2. I also drank 2 32oz bottles of water while I was on the bike.
Did I over-bike? Did I take in too many calories? Was I just unrealistic?
