Such a good race recap! And you guys are adorable 😊 This was super helpful. Doing my first half and full Ironman this year and there’s just so much I don’t know… so really helpful to hear from others who’ve done it!
Awesome video....great insight! Thanks for posting this.
Congratulations. I cannot believe this video hasn’t gotten more traction. This is an excellent race recap. Well done.
Thank you so much! Appreciate it!
Congrats both of you! Enjoyed your recap...it was fun to re-live this a year later as this was my very first full IM race also! Yes the jellyfish were brutal esp across your face, yikes....but the bike was lovely and the run was super fun, esp the turnaround downtown! The one bummer was that nothing was open late and we were starving after the race after waiting for friends to come in as well and then that walk to pick everything up was SO tiring too. That's great you were able to sleep so well that night; I struggled to sleep at first, but finally caught a few hours. Did you hear about the crazy swim this year?!? Take care and enjoy the journey! ~Megan
Awesome video thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks!
Congrats!! Little bummed to hear about the swim there, as it looks like the 70.3 Eagleman swim is there also (which is one I'd kind of like to do).. I've virtually ridden part of or all of the bike course in training for 70.3 Galveston or indoor riding a number of times. Even had set it purposely with a head wind for the last half to mentally prep for a slow grind back (which it ended up being in Galveston)
Honestly I was super nervous about the jellyfish, but they really weren't that bad! The only stings that really hurt were the ones straight to the face, but the stinging never lasted long!😅 Like I said in the video, the jellyfish wouldn't stop me from doing the course again! That's smart to set it with a head wind!! How was the Galveston race? We're thinking about signing up for the 70.3 there this spring.
@@krisannblanchard Never having been stung by one before, would hate to find out then I'm allergic would be the main concern. Galveston went well (for me) pretty much according to plan. Swim being in brackish water and was a little choppy but not too bad. Bike being totally flat and can be very much a pacing/mental game. Typically, tailwind in one direction (likely on the way out) so not overdoing/pacing needed, then headwind for the ~28miles to get back (mental slow grind). The run with all of the turns doesn't seem like one for pr'ing the run, but for spectators get to see the athletes at least 3 or more times (depending on where they are situated). Other thing is, it could be cold, it could be hot and/or extremely humid. Depending on the weather for the day, I'd say it is easier than Waco. But if it's windy could be pretty brutal even being flat.
@@DavidC-rt3or Awesome, this is all super helpful! Thank you! I was a little worried about the wind in Maryland with it being so flat, but luckily it wasn't too bad! We're trying to get my brother to sign up for Galveston for his first race, so we will see! 😄
@@krisannblanchard fyi, Fulgaz has 70.3 Texas course (can set wind directions) or if you want to re-live Waco it's there too 🙂. Riding in Galveston now (virtually) 😂
Congrats! Nice review, crazy story about the jellyfish, not sure I could handle getting stung. Curious as to what plan did you used on training peaks, it seems that you were well prepared for your first full. Thinking of stepping up to a full next year.
Thank you!! The Jellyfish were crazy, but honestly not as bad as I was afraid of thankfully! 😅 The plan we used was called "Phil's Intermediate IRONMAN® 140.6 (8-14 hrs/wk) + Email Access to Coach: 24 Weeks". It was a great plan, I highly recommend! You can also find other plans by the same coach (Phil Mosley) with different training lengths if you're wanting to train for longer than 24 weeks! 👍
Hi Krisan! Great video! Do you have a coach?
Shoot I freak out when long sea weed brushes on my toes while I’m swimming in the lake
Congratulations!!! I’m doing Waco 70.3 this weekend. And I was wondering did they have changing tents? Or is it only porta potty?
How exciting!! I'm jealous! Good luck! They didn't have changing tents in Waco, just porta potties!
Another thing you might want to keep in mind with the later start, depending on your expected timings, wouldn't be a bad thing to have a headlamp for your run.
@@krisannblanchard thank you!
@@DavidC-rt3or thank you!
@@DavidC-rt3or Definitely!! It was pitch dark in a few spots when we raced the course and I was wishing we would've had headlamps!
