IM FL 2008: Race Details Commentary Part II

Posted on November 17, 2008 by dshen

Some more comments: 13. Be wary of low temperatures in the mornings…and at night when the sun sets! Not so bad in the morning with a wetsuit on, but if you’re still out running and the sun starts going down, better KEEP RUNNING or else walking will potentially make you hypothermic, given your clothes being[…]

IM FL 2008: Race Details Commentary

Posted on November 17, 2008 by dshen

Thinking back to IM FL, I thought I’d put down some notes regarding the race independent of the race report. Here they are: 1. Logistics were very well done. T1, T2 and the expo were all in one place so there wasn’t much walking around. 2. Since T1 and T2 were in the same place,[…]

IM FL 2008: Recovery Update

Posted on November 12, 2008 by dshen

It’s been 1.5 weeks after IM FL. Sometime yesterday, my aerobic system recovered fully and I didn’t have that funny, “cool” sensation in my lungs any more. Muscularly, I am a bit sore on the top of my quads down by the knees; this was bugging me prior to Ironman and now it’s acting up.[…]

IM FL 2008: What Worked, What Didn’t Part II

Posted on November 12, 2008 by dshen

One more: Negative split and descend training really helped my ability to deliver high efforts even towards the end of the race, or the end of each segment. On the bike, I would train hills up to 5 hours and then go ride for an hour, completing intervals at high watts with rest in between.[…]

IM FL 2008: What Worked, What Didn’t

Posted on November 10, 2008 by dshen

In reflecting back on my training for and racing during Ironman Florida, I thought about what worked well and what didn’t work so well. Here are some thoughts: 1. I switched drinks from Accelerade to First Endurance EFS. Accelerade was upsettng my stomach. I think it was their use of soy protein and the way[…]

IM FL 2008: Compression Report

Posted on November 7, 2008 by dshen

For IM FL, I raced with compression sleeves for my lower legs by Zensah. I really like these for their compressive design, which is a ribbed, graduated compression that reduces up the lower leg. I also like sleeves as opposed to full socks as I prefer to wear my favorite socks for racing instead of[…]

IM FL 2008: Timing Weirdness

Posted on November 6, 2008 by dshen

So my finish time was 11:36. I looked at my watch and noticed that my stopwatch read 11:32. Where did 4 minutes go? I’m pretty sure I would have remembered starting it again if I had noticed it stopped. All my splits were pretty consistent, with the exception of T1 where I forgot to hit[…]

They just blow me away: Here are the women pros with Bella Comeford coming in first once[…]

IM FL 2008: The Day After

Posted on November 2, 2008 by dshen

Getting up this morning wasn’t too bad. I think my body is adapting to the abuse I give it every Ironman! I drop off my bike at TriBike Transport and then head to the expo. There I pick up my pics which I will post later once I get home to my scanner. I also[…]
