​Some background on events leading up to the race:

I choose to do this race because it would serve as a “dry-run” for Ironman Canada in 3 weeks.  I was going to practice pre-race nutrition, race-nutrition, pacing, and placement of items on the bike.  I didn’t have any time goals for this race, but the plan was to swim and bike like I was would for Ironman and then run “by feel.”

    I have spent quite a bit of time since I competed in Triple T a couple of months ago trying to solidify my Canada build schedule, because it is coming up quickly.  (BUILD = phase of training to specifically prepare the body/mind for the upcoming Ironman race)  I have a pretty good idea of what I want to do and the key workouts I want to incorporate, but getting the details ironed out has been tough.
