Half Ironman and other updates
Sorry for the delay in writting this...I have been very busy with training and work lately.
So i finished the half in 5:56 the other weekend. That was slightly off the time of 5:30 that I wanted. I had to stop cycling for a little durring the race because of very hard rain that lasted about 15minutes. I think that without this delay, I would have had no problem making the 5:30 goal. The morgantown course was awsome, especially the bike portion. I did not find it as hilly as the race directors had said. I auctually had my fastest bike split of the year there even with stopping for a period of time. I feel I am becoming better at the cycling portion of the race. The run sucked. The hill that was on that course was easily the worst I had ever ran up in my many year of competitive running. It was bad enough that myself and everyone around me had to walk up it. That said, the directors should seriously consider making a new run course.
In other news, I QUALIFIED TO NATIONALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am planning on attending in Portland Ore in september. Look for more info to come.
