Full race report to come, but I dropped 13 minutes from my half-iron PR.
And this course was WAY harder and hillier than my PR course or the flat, Ironman Cozumel course.
And my PR was set when I was 40. I am now 43.
And with the exception of about 8 miles at the end of the bike where I pushed a little harder, I was keeping Ironman heart rates all the way through.
Current Ironman pace at 43 years of age on a hard course = 13 minutes faster than old half-iron PR at 40 years of age.
**blink**
Coach Kris is a freakin' genius, riding with Coach Liz will make you fast, and Phil Shama will pimp your ride like no other.
I think I am seeing the light of possible at the end of this training tunnel.

Congrats !! 13 min PR = awesome. what a mental booster for IMCOZ, which, as your countdown so kindly reminds me, is 33 days and 18 hours out !
weeeeee you are well on your way to kick ass at Coz!
Congratulations on a sweet PR!
Thank you for the plug that riding with me will make someone a faster rider. I would have loved to have been there, but I wanted to save some money to swim with the dolphins in Cozumel after the race.
Congratulations on the PR! That is huge and I know how good it feels to knock down a barrier like that and have everything all come together.
On to next week's training!
Oh Yea! Bottle and sell that formula!
