The first one was certainly the most fun for me. It wasn’t my fastest or slowest race but I hit all the goals I’d set for myself and it was sort of an adventure since I’d never done it before, finished in 11:09 Arizona
My second one was nearly identical to the first one which was very disappointing since I didn’t meet the goals I’d set, finished in 11:02 coure’d Alene
The third oneI had a total melt Down, went way too hard on the bike in tough hot/windy conditions I wasn’t prepared for, walked a lot of the marathon, finished in 13:30, Arizona
4th one get like things were coming together and went 10:03 in ironman Canada after actually running the entire marathon.
5 was in Florida where I went 9:31 on that flat course, that’s the last time I had fun racing actually.
The 6th one was Ironman Wisconsin, awesome race, you finish in the university stadium there. I did 9:59 after getting 2 flat tires on the bike and getting my goggles kicked off during the swim.
My final race was at ironman lake placid where I just realized I didn’t want to
Be there and wasn’t enjoying myself so I just sort of soft pedaled it, talked to more people during the race and enjoyed not caring about how fast I was going, I finished in 11:44 and retired from triathlons after pursuing those goals for almost 10 years.
I did a lot of half ironmans, and sprint triathlons, even the collegiate national triathlon championship 3 times and long course nationals.
Those were fun years, I pretty much fucked off every other aspect of my life to just do triathlons lol, banged some hot triathlete chicks, was pretty popular locally in the racinn scene, had some cool bikes etc.
