Ironman Canada Race

This is what my training partner Scott wrote up today....

Ironman Canada

Oh Canada!

Larry had his best IM time ever (if you throw out his IM Florida which was on a much easier IM course) at his race on Sunday. He came in 4th at 10:47:26 (I cannot tell you what a great time that is for a course like this). This is quite incredible given the fact that he keeps getting older and his times keep getting faster. I think they only have two Kona slots but maybe three given the number of people in his AG (110). Canada is known for having a lot of roll-downs (where the people decline the Kona slot and it rolls down – I know, this sounds strange that someone would do this and pass on Kona but it is due to the fact that Kona is only 7 weeks away). He will find out today at the Awards Ceremony in which he will be on the podium.

He nailed his swim at 1:09 (below his goal of 1:10), he had a 5:23 bike which is his best bike EVER and his run was tough coming in at 4:05. I think he had some stomach issues. Detailed results are below in metric (this was in Canada).

Cheers
