Great job Jay, it’s been cool to see your progression of RR’s this last year, culminating in the Ironman. Good luck at Clearwater - you guys doing Tinsel Tri in December or just recuperating?
Congratulations. Awesome Race and report. Thanks for sharing!
Jay,
Congrats on a terrific race. It was nice to meet you at Friday’s gathering (I was in the Alcatraz cap and red jacket).
Good luck at the 70.3, keep the great stories coming.
Mike
Awesome. Thanks for the RR, and good luck this weekend 
Great RR and congratulations on your first IM. So what’s next…
Congratulations TriBodyBoarder, you are an Ironman! Nice report, great to finish ahead of expectations.

Might be. I’ve spent so damn much money on this trip (12 days in Florida, rental car, meals, accom. and entry fees that Tinsel, even though it’s relatively cheap, might be out of the budget. I do have a buddy just getting into tris from a collegiate swimming background, and have told him to do Tinsel as his first, so I might HAVE to do it again. What about you?
If you start crawling on your hands and knees halfway through the bike, we’ll know that the IM affected your 1/2 IM. No matter, that 12:04 earned you a permanent STUD title in my book.
Ha, ha. Quads are still sore, but better today (48 hours after the finish), so I figure I’ll be good by Wednesday. We’ll see. I’ll go for a bike or swim on Tuesday.
Had a “wonderful” 7-hour trek by car to Clearwater today with my 3-year-old going bonkers in the back seat! Stopped at the arches and had the two-cheeseburger meal with large fries and a Coke! I’m lovin’ it!
Great race and a great race report!
Jay…
Your report was so long, I only had time to copy and paste it, and read it on the plane home to SD. I was laughing at a lot of it…Buddy, send me an email, we’ll work on your nutrition and transitions. I promise you I’ll cut an hour off your time!
Great to hear your story though. Nice finish!
Good luck next weekend!
Insane. Thanks Jim!!! I’ll get in touch after Clearwater! Just for reference, my transitions at Superfrog were under 2 minutes each, but of course it didn’t require putting on layers of clothing.
Planning on it, not in much better shape than last year though so your wife might still beat me if she enters.
