In order to chart progress and improvements, I will list my PR's in each standard distance prior to beginning my Ironman training program. I have not listed PR's in odd distance races for sake of simplicity. Weather was perfect.
Course has a few significant hills.
Improved upon last year's time. Cold, windy, but not bad. Ran smart, heart rate in control whole race. It was 47 F at race start, but as the sun came up temperatures rose but stayed perfect for running. I managed to catch them, and then I pushed the last 5 miles to try to make up more time.
