A year ago I had never done more than a sprint distance triathlon and was racing on a single speed bike. I set my sights on IM Louisville and got down to some serious training. I came from an ultramarathon background so I had a vague understanding of what my body was going to go through over the next year.
We will skip all of the boring stuff about training plans and prep races and get right down to it. I had a plan and I stuck to it the entire race. Heart rate average of 137 for the bike and was actually hydrating and eating according to plan.
Swim 1:11:09
Bike 6:07:21
Run 4:38:44
Total 12:10:38
Now it is time to fine tune for IM Florida!
Awesome!
