I went sub10:30, the fourth time in my seven Ironman races. I was more than an hour faster than a year earlier on a hillier bike course, but one in which my training had put me in great condition. I had the second-fastest bike split in my age group among those who finished. (Two others rode a few minutes faster than me but failed to finish the run.) And I had the fifth-fastest run split at 3:51.
My overall time this year would have won my age group in 2006.
Heading into the race I had set a very conservative target of 10:45. I believed that a sub10:30 would put me on the podium.
