Your Four Keys to Ironman Racing played a key role in making my first Ironman a wonderful experience. I built the fitness, it was time to execute. It's all about the run. I stayed within my box. Be mentally strong. <br><br>The swim is the most frightening for me and I did my best to be comfortable. Being a slow swimmer meant that the winds shifted on me and my last trip down the Beeline was into the wind. Computer/HRM malfunctions and a mechanical at mile 100 didn't help either but I stayed in my box. I took the first hour and a half easy on the bike knowing I could save those matches for the marathon. I was obsessed with going super easy for the first 6 miles of the run knowing the Ironman race doesn't start till Mile 18 of the marathon. I felt fantastic on that last run 8 mile loop, running the whole way. The result- negative split the bike AND run and had an awesome experience! Thanks Rich and Patrick!
