2008 was a somewhat frustrating year racewise. An early season half Ironman in California after a winter of training in GP is not a formula for a fast race.....but it was part the road trip epic adventure with Lorna and Jonathan and Erin from GP to the Grande Canyon, Arizona, California etc! Had a couple of decent half marathons, a crappy and crampy Half Ironman at Chinook where I realized I need to take salt tabs, and my worst Ironman at Penticton that includes a bike crash at kilometer 18.
2008 Results
5:30:50 at Ironman 70.3 California
1:32:50 at Woody's Half Marathon
1:31:22 at the Press Run Half Marathon
5:58:31 at Chinook Half Ironman
12:29:59 at Ironman Canada
2009 will of course be a more successful year! My "A" race will be IMC in August.
2009 Goals
1:25:00 at Woody's Half Marathon
5:00:00 at Calgary 70.3, Chinook Half or Sylvan Lake Half
10:40:00 at Ironman Canada and
Qualify for Ironman Hawaii
Lofty goals but achiveable with proper training, nutrition and experience and getting to my 160 lb race weight!
