Ironman Cozumel 2015

Ironman Cozumel 29-11-15

Swim	57:04
Bike	05:12:50
Run	03:11:57
Overall	09:28:24

Position: 3rd M40, 26th OA

Summary:
Swim was fine, rolling start meant less energy wasted. Bike felt strange from start, high hr, low power, similar to last year, heat/humidity issue. Was alone for the most of the bike, kept an eye on power in to headwind on north section. For 2nd and 3rd lap started to feel a little stiff, shoulders tired on 3rd lap, the flat course meant TT position for 5hrs. First 10mins of run felt uncomfortable, but then got going well for 10-15k. Had issues with stomach for 3 days before race, this now started to bug me from 15k in. 3 portaloo stops and a lot of discomfort meant I lost some time. Recovered with 7k to go and paced well to the line. Wanted to stop and walk often from 15k, just managed to avoid it, mentally one of the toughest races I've ever done.

Summary:
After a crash in April, got CTL back to a decent level, arrived in good form race day. Struggled in swim as usual, felt better on bike than previous years though heat was apparent from climb to Hawi. Struggled from start of run, slowed down and walked early aid stations for ice/energy, felt better from 1/2 way on Queen K. Very hot day!
