Action packed.
Last year 3:40:08 missed a BQ by 8 seconds. Came back a month later, ran a BQ 3:37:45 in Madison and failed to gain entrance in to Boston by less than one minute.
This year's goal time 3:40 or (8:23 per mile) and stretch goal 3:35 (8:12 per mile).
300 seconds over 26.2 miles.
Bib number 18590. Wave 1 Corral D. The plan is to start just ahead of the 3:40 pace group to stay, negative split, run tangents, and fuel properly.
The first objective is to look at my watch after the first mile and not see a 7:30 and not come in the 1st three at less than 25 minutes. Negative split is the race objective. Controlled enthusiasm at the start is the key.
Ill be carrying 150 grams (correction) of carbohydrate in the form of First Endurance EFS to supply in one bottle on a Profile-Lite Breeze belt. Ill consume the energy drink and water at the aid stations as needed targeting the middle through last volunteers.
Ill be wearing my Garmin 920XT. The only two fields that are active at last mile and average pace. No heart rate monitor.
Ironman Racine 70.3 race hat, Nemesis prescription sun glasses, Adidas singlet, Zoot shorts, Feetures socks, Brooks Flight shoes, lock laces, Desoto arm coolers, CEP compression leg sleeves, plenty of Body Glide and Chamois Butt'r. Game day decision on carrying salt and cramp supplements.
And, yes, I'm taping my nipples.
Good luck to the Madison Fleet Feet, Race Day Events, E3, Endurance House, Prairie Athletic Club, Bombay Bicycle Club and Trek Ride Club participants.
