On the weekend Darryl took part in his 3rd IronMan event. The weather was hot and windy. Not Calgary hot, but Arizona hot. For a race in April the temperature was in the 30’s. The swim went well 1:03. Once on the bike Darryl stuck to his race plan. His nutrition and pacing worked great bringing him back to T2 with a time of 5:27. Once on the run is where the heat really became a factor. Aiming to hold his race pace, Darryl pushed as hard as he could and finished with a 3:52 marathon for a total of 10:29. I watched him finish on the web and he had absolutely nothing left as he sprinted across the finish line and fell in the arms of the catchers. Very inspiring.
Lyndsey was also using this race as a training day and she exited the lake just ahead of Darryl in 1:02. She did half of the bike and then called it a day. What a great way to get a long swim and bike in.
