SwissVan Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 I think I might have set a record for the longest T1 with 11:06 Sooooo.... what waz u doing?
Garfield2010 Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 Sooooo.... what waz u doing? Do we really want to know this?
JGR Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 Depends... if you are used to it should not be an issue, still think 3 bottles worth is to much (but then i don't know what size bottles they were).I think with all the GU's you had enough carbs... Did u get stomach cramps and muscle cramps or just muscle cramps?Both as well as some incredibly painful stiches ... under the ribs in the chest cavity. Checked my data and HR never went above 157 on the run ... weird.
scottm Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 Sooooo.... what waz u doing?I was changing into my cycling gear and trying to eat at the same time.Was also chatting to people, high-fiving each other on how well we had done in the swim and how this would give us a head start on the bike . It didn't actually feel like I took that long, time flew.
ADe Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 Who loves their finisher shirts? I seriously don't understand how Merrell as a performance technical apparel brand would put their name on a shirt sourced from the same supplier that Julius and Zuma get their supporter shirts. I wear my 5150 shirts all the time, they are great. After promises of better shirts in the race live chat session by Paul Woolf, they come up with these. Suitable for car washing. By that I mean polishing the body work, not wearing while washing the car.I have to agree. The quality of last year's T was really bad, so I was expecting something similar to 5150.
Marge Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 Last years IM finisher shirts were neat. Last years finisher's shirts faded after one wash and was made of cheap material that would insult Pepstores standards. I bought a very nice 70.3 on the online shop so go have a look there:http://www.easyreg.co.za/store/categories/5-women-s/products

davem Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 I think I might have set a record for the longest T1 with 11:06 Nothing beats my 14min T2 in IMSA 2010
JGR Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 JGR drank too much and become bloated due to it not being a hot day. He then started losing cabin pressure before crashing in the final parts of the run. Mystery solved Seriously ... that might be in. Probably also why I didn't feel 'hungry' .. You also make an excellent point about the sweetness of the gels ect
Snytjie Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 Check out this table: http://www.active.co...riathlon?page=2 I'm at the 180lb (82kg) level where I'd be burning about 5300 kcal for a 70.3, i.e. about 800 kcal an hour. I'm @ 86kg / 189lb. I'll have to use a tricycle and walk in order to burn 700 kcal per hour...
scottm Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 Thanks. But the whole www.ironman703.co.za now forwards to this site.

Bodhi Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 13 minute T1 for me. Chatting, sun cream (I'm like a vampire that suffers from albinism), taking my time... What an incredible experience. I'm still on a high. Can't wait for next year.
