Sylvan Lake Half IronMan was held this past weekend. The weather was perfect. We had Brian using this race as another training day in preparation for IronMan Canada. The previous week Brian took part in the Calgary No Limits IMC training camp and showed that he was good to go. On race day Brian was pleased with his day. With all of his lake swimming he was ready for a strong swim but was a bit surprised by the long run to T1. (Here is a tip: if the run to T1 is going to be very long, take the time to fully remove the wetsuit and then carry the wetsuit instead of wearing it.)
If anyone is planning on doing this race next year note that the bike is not flat. :) Brian has been doing lots of training in the hills so he was ready. The run course had to be modified to 4 loops due to construction but this proved to be great for the spectators. Brian stuck to his race strategy of not walking and finished the day in a solid 5:47.
Other notable finishes include James who took part in the Calgary training camp finished in 5:07, Kendall finished in 5:44 and Ken who finished in 5:56.
Great day to race!
This week is the Calgary 70.3!!!
