Number one, it didn't kill me. Yeah, it was hard, yeah it was hot, yeah it was rough, but I finished it. It can only help in my IMKY prep, right? I also started to break down my split times. Recall, it was 1:02; 3:44; and 3:28. The swim course was long, I'm not entirely certain how much longer than the promised 1.2 miles but my best guess going in was a 45-50 minute swim. So slice off 12 minutes. The bike course was also long by 2 miles or so. So slice off, at 15.5 mph, about 8 minutes. The run course was 1 mile long, so slice off 15 minutes there. That leaves me at a grand total of 7:48. Add to that, that the run course was brutal and IMKY is flat and now you have a total nearing 7:30. Using the general rule of x2 + 40 minutes to get your IM time and I'm looking at 15:40 for IMKY. Entirely doable.
Since the director didn't even give out medals, I had to buy my own:
A 70.3 sticker.
Finally, I got back to my regular training today, a 3000 meter swim and a 40 minute interval run. See you later for a weekly update on Sunday!
