This isn’t the race report

Sunday, December 7th, 2008

Because in a short while I’m off to watch those still out on the course and eat some of those unhealthy foods I’ve been studying so closely all week.

I did just want to mention though that I set a new PB for me – 9:20:22. Which got me my first top 50 position in an Ironman and my first top 10 in my age group at one. I came 48th overall and 7th in my age group. All told it was a great race for me I mostly executed my plan, the run had it’s hiccups, but the end result can’t be complained about.

Real race report type stuff will be available later!

kevin holt: good read buddy ) iam booked in for a 10km in september but iam training just for the event ! time wise i need to work out but love to hit around 2:10-2:20 …… TIME WILL TELL
Devin: Russ, Thanks for the response! I’ll be curious to read your camp report and hear how things went! Devin
Devin: Why would you want to start the camp with a massive day (and resulting large fatigue) when your form is already low? Seems like a progressive increase in load throughout the week would be more beneficial. Yes you’d want to...
James: Russ, Thanks for the reply. I suppose 3.8TTs would be more accurate as a judge as there’d be no variation in tides, waves, wind, navigation, course length etc.
James: What sort of times would you reasonably hope to swim for 3.8km based on current CSS and your intended CSS? Are you going to be bold enough to publish a target CSS pace for you to get to in the next few months?
