Not too too much more to add now that I'm sober and relaxed.
The course as I ran it:
http://connect.garmin.com/activity/127342529
Pretty flat, although you get about 90 feet in about 1/2 mile going over the highway. It didn't feel like anything when I did it early on but it was a pain coming back at mile 21.
* As others noted, the "never again" feeling is gone and I am going to run another marathon - I don't feel satisfied with my performance even though I am happy with my time.
* From what I saw, these are very well managed and supported marathons. The Savannah one went very smoothly. It would have been nice if the course had been more scenic (it spent some time in the semi-ghetto and plenty on the highway and only a little in the historic district) but it's not like you can fit all 26 miles into the historic district. So, pretty great course, very flat until the rolling on/offramps on the highway, good support, the bands are cool. Strong recommendation. Got emailed with nicely tagged pics from Brightroom the day after the race too.
* I put bodyglide on my nipples, taint area, thighs, and all other "creases" down below. Unfortunately at mile 20-21 I started to feel some chafing on my willy. It only got worse and I have a pretty bad chafe on my wanger now. Lesson learned, will put bodyglide on the dingaling next time.

I'll be training for http://espnwwos.disney.go.com/events/rundisney/tower-of-terror-10-miler
Will be my first 10 mile run. I'm hoping to average 8 min miles. We shall see how training goes.

I can't believe this is my first post ever in the Fitness forum since workouts and racing is such a large part of my life.
Anywho, I've been doing tri's (up to Olympic distance) for about 4 years now, but my longest run race is currently a 10K and my 10K PR (46:30) was done DURING an Olympic tri. Needless to say, I need to start running some more races since my running fitness has gotten much better over the past year.
Currently my race PRs are:
5K - 19:26 (6:15/mi) 11/24/11
4 mile - 26:00 (6:30/mi) 7/4/11
10K - 46:30 (7:29/mi) 6/25/11 During Olympic tri
I think I'm going to do a half marathon on April 1st and I've been stretching the distance out on my runs a bit for the last few months.
Yesterday I ran 11.5 miles in 1:27 (7:33/mi) and felt fantastic. I think I'm ready to rip of a sub 1:35 half marathon!

McMillan says I should hit 1:34 based on my recent 20:32 5k. What's your PR for your oly tri? Last one I did was a year and a half ago...only 4 months training and I managed a 2:42. I'm hoping for closer to 2:20 this Sunday.
2:25 last June. Should smash that this year assuming I don't get injured and it's not 90 degrees out during my races.
Good luck on Sunday!

It's pretty insane to me how an 8 mile run has become a short "fun" run.
I miss this...
I ran 7ks last night. ugh. Getting back into it.

Had a fantastic race this morning in Palm Springs. International distance which means it's whatever they want it to be, but in this case it was a 3/4mile swim, 24 mile bike, and 6 mile run.
Had to get up at 3:30 to drive the 2 hours out there, but had plenty of time to get ready after checking in.
Overall 2:13. 17/73 in my age group.
Swim 21:43: Unfortunately I haven't swam a single lap since IMAZ back in November. I knew it would hinder me, but figured my overall fitness was good enough. ater was mid 60's, but didn't feel too cold after warming up a bit. Once we were off, I really felt me lack of swim fitness. Oh well, focused on staying smooth and I was out of the water 27/73 in my AG.
Bike 1:04, Avg speed 22.4 mph: This felt great. Wore my new aero helmet and settled into a nice clip right off the bat. Only had 3 guys pass me the whole ride....which is a nice change of pace. lol.
Run 44:15 7:22/mi This went even better than the bike. 2 loop course around the lake we swam in. kept things nice and in control for the first loop to let me legs adjust. Did the first loop in 22:30. Second loop I found my stride and started picking up the pace. Ran the second 3 in 21:30.
Overall I'm really happy. Only my second year in the sport, and I didn't do any shorter distance tris last year, but I'm seeing major improvements. Hoping In can crack the top 10 next year.

Way to go man! Sounds like an awesome time. I'd love to try a tri sometime after I'm actually in shape lol.

Sweet. Yeah, those shorter distance ones seem a LOT more sane than the Ironman stuff. It actually sounds like fun.
That average speed on the bike is FLYING. That's where all of your aero did something. Had to be worth an extra 1-1.5 mph overall, because damn--blazing. Great overall result. Must feel great to finish ahead of so many people.
2:13 sounds like it can still fall in the "fun" category in terms of exertion.
If I had any sort of swim form and I were still running, I'd be tempted.

16 mile run and I didn't use glide on my nipples fuuuuck.
Maybe I don't rotate my torso as much but I've never had an issue with nipple chaffing on long runs. I might be lucky though

Ran 13.5mi today in 1:43. Not bad since it was the first warm day around here since fall and my body isn't used to running above 40F.
Will be picking up the pace a bit for my half on April 1st.
