I have my Olympic Distance coming up...then 2 weeks later is a 70.3<br />Think I would be nuts to try it? I have done every single distance of a HIM...I just have never put them all together...<br />Thoughts? I'm looking for sane advice...as I feel a tad insane trying to figure out if I should do this or not.

You did AWESOME chic! We are a very close match on all 3 disciplines. I have a feeling that you just wrote my 1/2 iron race report for me...although mine isn't until Sept 12, it's gonna be a scorcher for sure. Congrats!

Not quite sure what's going on, so I hope I can gain the confidence you have gotten this summer! And AWESOME bike time! Amazing job, all around! I did the Boulder Olympic and would love to do a HIM, but with the young kiddos, not quite sure it's in the cards for me any time soon. :) Luckily I love the Olympic distance!<br />Great job!Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05221119221944369877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6566217809969646786.post-84802973105851576542010-08-10T13:37:23.588-06:002010-08-10T13:37:23.588-06:00Amazing bike time!

I had an (unusually) relaxed swim which meant more to me than a blazing time so I could totally relate. I also had a miserable run. The Florida 70.3 may not have hills but the heat was dangerous. Just like you said, there were more people walking than running. Congrats again on a fantastic race! Now sit back, relax and bask in the glory of your successes!n/ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15140006843601328227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6566217809969646786.post-87954750044795429302010-08-10T11:56:14.207-06:002010-08-10T11:56:14.207-06:00wow that is crazy exciting and terrifing for me to...wow that is crazy exciting and terrifing for me to read all at the same time!!

Freak out in the H2O usually, and on race day I went in an swam totally calm. And the hot run. Yep same here. And I also tried Coke for the first time, and it gave me a great kick. Our CdA course runs you 2 loops and right by the finish, and this was the point for me also, that was the toughest. And that is where I told my hubby "I was done"....and I still had 13 miles to go. =@<br />Way to hang in there, tough it out, and in the end you did FANTASTIC!!
