San Juan 70.3
I dusted off the cobwebs at San Juan 70.3. It was my first time here and I really enjoyed the race!
Bike: I felt pretty good on my new Falco V bike. I had literally built it up a week ago so I didn't have many miles on it. Regardless I felt like I had my position dialed in. I rode a 2:08 which was about 20 seconds slower than the fastest bike split. I pushed an avg of 308 watts according to my calibrated Stages Cycling power meter (not sure what the NP was because I haven't downloaded it yet). I've done practically all of my riding on the trainer so I was pleased with my bike.
Run: I quickly slipped on my Skechers GoRun 4 in trainsition and I was off. I was in 10th place off the bike. It was a two loop run course and it was hot out there! On the first loop I ran alone and didn't catch anyone. On the second lap I started to feel better and I passed 5 people in the last lap. With about 1.5 miles I over took Justin Dearr who was in 5th place. I then put on another whole minute in the last 1.5 miles. I felt really strong at the finish. If I had another mile I knew I could of caught and passed 3rd place as the guys infront of me were fading.
Overall I was happy with the race. I feel like I am a rookie at the half ironman distance since I hardly race half's.
