You came around 11pm to watch the last finishers, that was really cool.
Then you started dancing around 11.45pm...Are you planning to take dance lessons? Will you be at so you think you can dance next season?

Great job btw (not for the dancing).

Your thread about nutrition for IMAZ was immensely helpful to me to me in my first ironman this past July. I tested out a couple of the things you used (as well as your approach for using them) in my own training and used several of them for the race. Worked perfectly.

My question is: What did you do differently in your training (and on race day/weekend) for IMC than you did for IMAZ? Which (if any) of those changes helped and which (if any) did not help or even possibly hurt?

with your typical day of food - all the rice bread, quinoa - are you gluten intolerant? (I am asking, why rice bread rather than "normal" bread)

What was your dinner night before?
What is your race day breakfast?
Do you sleep well the night before and the few nights before IM events?
Do you anticiapte a bike sponsor soon?
Are you going to Kona?

Do you really use bacon fat as chamois cream?

No. Bacon fat should be reserved for cooking further deliciousness. Personal lubrication is a waste. Bacon goes INSIDE the body, not OUTSIDE.

You pretty much answered all my questions already, but just wanted to say people like you and Jonnyo are class acts, and we ST's are a lucky bunch. Thanks for being accessible. Glad you got the win!!!!

That was not dancing. You'd know if I was dancing. I can dance. "I'm an excellent dancer." ;)

I am not gluten intolerant, but I feel better if I do not eat gluten. Rather, I have not been diagnosed as being intolerant of gluten, but I feel better when I don't have it. I don't need a doctor to tell me what I figured out for myself.[/quote] No issues with dairy?

I don't consume dairy either. Well, sometimes I have some ice cream. And a machiatto now and then. But generally I avoid it. I use almond or rice milk. I do eat cheese and yogurt, but generally, bacteria have consumed (almost) all of the lactose in the milk in those cases. I.e., many people that are lactose intolerant do fine with cheese and yogurt.

Any rethinks on whether you'll be racing in a white Kiwami suit in the future? :-)

Congratulations on a well deserved result.

Congrats on your win. I have been reading this thread throughout the day and am impressed that you continue to answer all the questions.
My question is about what you do post race. Do you follow the active recovery strategy that Joe B. and others follow? Or do you take a couple days off and then get back into training?
Thanks for being a down to earth, yet very fast guy.
