    Harbourman Olympic Wicklow

    First Triathlon of the year. Wasn"t really motivated to do this but felt i needed to find out what sort of shape i was in. Lots of really good Triathletes from around the country at this as it coupled as the National Championships. Also was part of the National Series so the standard was the highest i've ever seen at a race.

    Swim
    My first Triathlon where the swim was in the sea and also only my second triathlon with a rolling start into the water, so i was a bit apprehensive about this. Only in the sea once this year so confidence was low.
    Started off near the back of the field. Struggled a little for the first 300 meters. Got a little better after this. Struggled with sighting and veerved off course on a couple of occasions. Nevertheless was glad to get it done. Last 200m around the pier area, i found the water a bit more choppy, which i wouldnt be used to.
    Happy enough with how it went. High class field and im a relatively poor swimmer.

    Time = 28.52
    Place = 293/460

    T1 - Not great at Transitions, really need to take a closer look at this.

    Time = 2.12
    Place = 267/460

    Bike
    Bike course was a little hillier than i expected. Their was approx 4/5 areas on the course with some inclines for 200/300 meters. They were not hard to get up but took the wind out of the average speed.
    Passed a few on the bike, but was passed by a few aswell. With the work i'd put into the bike this past year, i was hoping for a better result. Having said that, the field was very strong, the course was a little tougher than the ones i completed last year. About 3 minutes quicker and i would have been happy so not a million miles off.

    Time = 1.10.22
    Place = 207/460

    T2 - Always really poor on this changeover. Need to see what others are doing on this one.

    Time = 2.17
    Place = 419/460

    Run
    First 5k on the run went well enough. Was passing a lot of people, even though i was finding it hard. I was managing to hold pace. However, in the second 5k i felt it hard going. Slowed slightly, still managed to hold a respectable place for me. A few minutes improvement on last years Olympics. Finished fairly strong. Think the brick sessions have helped the run, although my running has been badly curtailed due to injury.

    Time = 46.12
    Place = 148/460

    Overall Time = 2.29.57
    Place = 210/460

    Overall, happy enough with the performance. Would have liked a couple of minutes quicker on the bike. Overall performance was a little bit better than the three Olympics i completed last year.
    Thinking of doing Ironman 70.3 in Dun Laoighaire and Glendalough 3.9K Swim.
    Will see how my groin injury recovers after the weekend.

    Bike - Tour De Kilkenny (163.2KM 6.08 Hours 26.6KPH AVHR = 143

    My Longest and toughest cycle ever. Over 1900 meters of climbing. Plan was just to go at my own target effort which was approx 141 - 143bpm.
    Started off with front group and found the pace difficult to maintain. I had already completed 9 training workouts earlier in the week so maybe my legs werent as fresh as the others.
    Reached 40KM mark at approx 33.5kph. Then we hit the first hill and i started to feel it. Fell off the back of the second group and just plodded along at my own pace up the hill. Second hill outside Inistoige was a killer. Gradients of approx 10%.
    I rode passed the first food stop and at the second stop at 70KM i topped up water bottle and had some grub. Rode the next 50KM on my own meeting very few people. This was really enjoyable for me as i was going at my own pace. After the last food stop at 116km i cycled the section with another group. Again struggled to stay with them. Four of us managed to group together and make out way to the finish with one strong guy doing most of the work.
    Overall, really enjoyable day. Great workout. Managed to hit my target Heart rate, got some good hill practice in and was happy with my average pace given the difficult terrain. Not sure how it would have went if my legs were fresh, but this was mainly training ride for me.

    Sunday 04/08/19

    Run - 40.00 7.17KM (5.34) AVHR = 133

    Groin pain is acting up again, i feel mainly due to the 5 x 1k session i done last week. Will have to keep the running to slow runs from now on.

    Ironman 70.3 (Dun Laoighaire)
    My first middle distance Triathlon event. Official times not in yet so my times below are not completely accurate.

    Swim
    Very disappointed that swim was cut short due to fog. Its my weakest event but still felt very comfortable with regard to the 1.9K distance.
    Swim was reduced by half to 950m. Didnt enjoy the swim as was too crowded and got hit, kicked from all sides, Could not get past slower people with the amount of people around you in the water. Anyway, got through it.

    Time = 19.XX

    T1
    ---
    Again, no time issued for this as yet. But went ok and was happy with it.

    Bike
    This was some bike course. 90K with approx 1400/1500m climbing. First approx 64KM had all the climbing. My plan was to finish this in approx 3 hours 40 minutes. Anything quicker id be happy. Loved the first 20km or so, uphill wasnt too steep. I was passing dozens of cyclists and felt very comfortable.
    Then it started to get very steep in parts. I was lucky that recently i had completed the Tour of Kilkenny 160K and lots of climbing around local hills at home otherwise it would have been a shock to the system.
    Saw quite a few people stopped with punctures and other mechanicals. Also passed 2/3 people that crashed and looked in a bad way. Ambulances were with them. Hope everything was ok.
    Downhill and bike handling skills are a major weakness of mine and was being passed by a number of people going downhill only to pass them again on the uphill sections.
    Put water based gels in a bottle and drank a swig from the bottle every 30 minutes. Picked up water at the 57KM stop so really managed to minimise my stoppage time on the bike. At the top of the climbs my average speed was 24.6 which predicted a time of about 3.40. However with all the downhill sections to go, i knew i was going to beat that easily.
    Last 25KM, fast downhill sections and even with my poor downhill skills i managed to make up some good time. Finished with an average speed of 25.9 in 3 Hours 24 Minutes a good 16 mins faster than i wanted. Was really happy with this.

    T2
    ---
    Again, seemed to go ok for me with no real issues.

    Run
    ----
    Was particularly concerned with the run. Its always being my strongest discipline but i haven't ran further than 10 miles since the Chicago Marathon 2015 and haven't ran further than 8 miles this year due to long term injury. Felt i'd be ok for about 15KM's then i thought id struggle. Wasn't sure what pace to go with so just ran by feel.
    Started off too fast then settled into pace at 4.52 per km. Decided this was fine so just kept running by feel. Course was 3 laps of Dun Laoghaire coast road. First lap was approx 7km went pretty comfortable. Felt fine at this pace, was passing a few people, not many though. Second lap was a little tougher, average pace slipped a little to about 4.57/4.58 which i was happy with as i felt ok.
    Was passing lots of runners at this stage as others tired and also due to some slower runners on their first lap. Took an energy gel every 25 minutes and took water at every stop. Drank one cup and one cup over my head, my normal plan when i ran marathons.
    Third lap i felt, id be in trouble due to lack of mileage. However, i dug in, pace was slipping alright but still i was happy with how i was going, passing lots of people with very few passing me.
    Average pace slipped out to 5.06 by my watch. Got to the finish, a little emotional as my wife and two little girls were there to support me. Crossed the line hands in the air, delighted.

    Time = 1.50

    Overall Time = 5.42

    Overall very happy with the performance. Disappointed they shortened the swim but was happy enough with the time for the distance we completed. Happy with the bike, way ahead of my expectations and got the time i wanted on the run. Overall Time for bike, T1, T2 and Run was 20 minutes ahead of my planned time.
    Next event is Glendalough 3.8K swim in two weeks. Looking forward to the challenge. The longest swim by far i have ever done.

    Sunday 06/10/19

    Ironman Barcelona
    My first full distance Ironman Event. Had a number of concerns going into this.
    What would swimming that distance in the sea with so many other competitors be like. Would i be able to handle the swim. Would i get motion sickness which would leave me very tired as had been the case post swim of late.
    How would my running injury hold up.

    Swim
    I lined up in the 1.20 group as i felt that i would finish close to that time based on previous years results.
    Few issues before the swim. During the warm up my goggles were letting in water, which was stressing me out. Also, my heart rate monitor would not work, which i was relying on the bike. My timing chip was on incorrectly. All these things just stressed me out a little but got them all sorted just before it started.
    Off we went, the water was lovely, nice and warm. So many people in the water, lots of banging and bumping like nothing ive dealt with before. I wasn't concerned about it, but it was annoying to being kicked, bumped every few seconds. Didnt really enjoy the swim at all. Also during the second half of the swim, i felt a little sick. Was really concerned that i was getting motion sickness that would zap me of my energy as it has been of late and i would struggle later on.
    Just kept on tipping away, zigzagging all over the place at times. Anyway, reached the line in 1.18 which was right on for what i thought i could do, but it felt slower.

    Time = 1.18.50
    Place = 1922/2940

    T1 - Went ok for me. Changed quickly enough, had a fun sized Mars bar and good drink of water and off i went.

    Time = 5.49


    Bike
    First 3KM is around the Calella town until you get on the road to Mongat. From then on, its a very flat route for most of the way. From approx 28KM - 36KM its uphill and this slows your average speed down. Its a 90KM route completed twice.
    During the first 25KM i was averaging approx 32KPH, during the hilly section i still managed to hold 29KPH so was going ok so far. Then back onto a flat section back from Mongat to Calella to complete the first lap. Hit halfway in 2.45 Hours, ahead of my schedule. Lots of very good cyclists doing this with some impressive times.
    Was concerned i would struggle to hold pace on the second lap. My plan was to keep my heart rate to 143-144 bpm, however i was at approx 146bpm already.
    During the second lap, was dying to go to the toilet, but didnt really see any facilities so just held on.
    From 90KM - 140KM, I slowed slightly, was finding it a little tougher. My overall average pace was still in excess of 32KPH so i knew i was still on for close to a decent time. Last 40KM the endurance and long cycles must have paid off as i managed to average 33.7KPH for the this section. Was delighted to see the end of the bike.

    Time = 5.33.45
    Place = 1587/2940

    T2 - Again this transition went fine. Took another fun sized Mars bar and off i went.

    Time = 5.38


    Run
    ----
    At this stage i had calculated that i needed about 3.55 for the marathon to get under 11 hours. A year ago, this time would not have been anywhere near my capabilites, indeed 12 hours seemed a long shot. However, even though had only ran 15 miles as my longest run in training and only 4 runs over 13 miles in four years, someone i thought this was worth going for. Started off way too fast about 3.50 pace. After about 14KM mark, was started to feel it and pace started slightly slipping.
    Reached half way at about 1.58, so i felt i was close but the pace was starting to slip and i was finding it tough going. Having completed 7 marathons in the past, i knew what the pain of the last 6 miles can bring, however, this was something different and it meant running the last 25KM like this.
    Could have easily decided to walk like others, but been stubborn, i kept plugging along, trusting in my cycling endurance and years of previous long distance running to get me through. Pace was slowly but i was still trying for the best time i could.
    Passing loads of people suffering, just kept counting down the kilometers. Delighted that i didnt stop at all apart from aid stations to get water.
    Passed my wife a number of times on the run, quiet emotional at times, thinking that i was going to be an Ironman and in a time that i would be happy with.
    Finally with the finish line in sight, gave my wife a high five, punched the air in delight and heard the words 'You are an Ironman'. Delighted, emotional, wrecked and relieved. Done it. Finally an Ironman.

    Time = 4.03.39
    Place = 933/2940

    Overall Time = 11.07.41
    Overall Place = 1233/2940

    Hi PDCAT,

    I don't read Boards much anymore but your log caught me eye. The last time I read your log you were too injured to run, swam with armbands and cycling was something you were doing because you couldn't run! And now you've done an Ironman. That's amazing perseverance. Really well done! I am delighted for you.

    Swim - (Analysis) - Decided to go an get an analysis done on my stroke. Watching the video of myself was an eye opener. My technique was pretty poor a lot worse than i had imagined. Got a few pointers with regard how to improve the technique but looks like it will take a lot of work.
    Main issue seems to be my hand entry is way too far out in front of me when entering the water and therefore im pushing down on the water, not back.
    Took about an hour to get this analysis done.

    Rehab - 1 Hour

    Tuesday 05/11/19

    Bike - (Turbo Test) - Travelled to see my coach who performed this test on a wattage bike. About 30 mins in total with 3 mins flat out at the end. Have to say it was the toughest 3 mins of my life. Have two further tests to do over the coming weeks. The coach will use the results to formulate my training plan.

    Swim -(1.1K) - Was hoping to do a longer session, but swimming pool was closing so had to leave early. Tried to focus on hand entry and do some drills directed towards this.

    Plan was:
    200m Warm up
