Iron_Tri_Tim: IM Florida Part 4
http://irontritim.blogspot.com/2008/11/im-florida-part-4.html
My journey towards Fatherhood, as well as my second Ironman. Thursday, November 6, 2008. IM Florida Part 4. This year I knew I was in much better shape coming out of T1, I ran the first mile and mentally I was thinking just get to the first aid station and see how I feel. At about 0.9 cramps in my thighs started and I wondered if this was to be where it all went to pieces again. I made it into the aid station before it flared up though. The final turn around came and I saw the clock and knew a sub 1hr 40.

Iron_Tri_Tim: IM Florida - Part 3
http://irontritim.blogspot.com/2008/11/im-florida-part-3.html
My journey towards Fatherhood, as well as my second Ironman. Thursday, November 6, 2008. IM Florida - Part 3. Because I didn't go through the tent in T1 I forgot to get sun block for the ride! Realised this about 5 miles in. There was no way I was going 112 miles in florida sun without the block and luckily the aid stations had some. As you can see I pretty much ate and drank continuously. But it worked! As ever though you never quite know how well you will feel when you leave T2. I'm guessing it doesn't!

My journey towards Fatherhood, as well as my second Ironman. Wednesday, November 5, 2008. IM Florida - My perfect Race Part 1. Pre Race everything was rushed, travelling with the girls is hard work, and we arrived on site Thursday PM. Managed to get one 10 min ride on the Friday and a 10 min swim. Things didn't go well from the start, walking down to transition at 5am I realised I had left all my water bottles in the fridge (that was one of my pre-race nightmares! Wednesday, November 05, 2008. I looked u...

My journey towards Fatherhood, as well as my second Ironman. Thursday, October 2, 2008. Update at long last. Wow what a busy month. Its been over a month since I last blogged and so much has happened on some fronts and so little has happened on others! The second went at mile 85. I had taken out my second spare to make room for more nutrition and in all my outdoor riding I had never had a puncture. Well that ride sure made up for it! Up to the beginning of the month training had been going really well, I...

Iron_Tri_Tim: And so it began
http://irontritim.blogspot.com/2007/11/and-so-it-began.html
My journey towards Fatherhood, as well as my second Ironman. Thursday, November 8, 2007. And so it began. The big day was finally here, I had waited 12 months for this, and it was exactly as I had pictured in my perfect ironman dream. Flat seas, low wind and moderate temperatures. I got down to the race site nice and early and got bodymarked and then proceeded to find a quiet spot on the beach with Gemma to try and relax. I was warned of this and made a concerted effort to stay wide, this added a few.
