My first ironman distance triathlon.  2.4mi swim, 112mi bike, 26.2mi run.  I did better than I though I would.  The swim I just went nice and easy and finished in 1:27:33, for the bike it was a hilly but pretty course.  The race took place in Clermont, FL which is actually hillier than you would think.  I road the course a month ago, so I knew what to expect.  I finished the bike in just under 7hrs.  I was very tired when I got off of my bike, but suprisingly since I drank pleanty of fluids and ate enough food troughout the day I felt pretty good.  I ran at a nice easy pace and walked at the aid stations and up hills.  I finished the run portion in 4:35:02.  I did have energy left after I finished and felt like I could have pushed harder, but it was my first ironman, so there was really no need to.  Next time I'll know what to expect.
