    071 5 Things I Learned From My First Half IRONMAN Race 🙌🏼

    071 5 Things I Learned From My First Half IRONMAN Race 🙌🏼
    5 things I learned from my first 70.3 Half Ironman race!

    1.)  Don't ride too close to people. 🚩

    So many people crashed right in front of me and I barely dodged them. So I just wanted to be as far away from people and protect myself as much as possible. I tried to be super mindful and control as much as I could. I would pass people on my bike and then I'd get as far as I could to the right to create my own little bubble and create space. 

    2.) More electrolytes leading up to the race! 💦

    I'm pretty sure that's why I got such intense vertigo in the days after my race. So that was a BIG learning experience! Dehydration can cause vertigo, so I think I was just depleted of electrolytes. 

    3.) Use earplugs for the swim! 👂🏼

    So many people throw up after the swim. I got super lucky. I was glad that nothing happened to me, but  having Dramamine on hand and using earplugs will be two things I will have and use for next time! My friend Brandon told me that earplugs are non-negotiable for him and now i know why!

    4.) Use visualization more in training and do more open water swims! 🌊

    As much as we can't control things like people swimming into you or getting stung by a jellyfish, it's important to train for mishaps! That way you're not totally rocked if/when those things happen because you've practiced breathing through unexpected pivots! 

    5.) Train without music! (and charge your watch) 🎧

    I learned the night before that I would have to do the whole race without music. So it was a big pivot and kind of soul crushing 😱So I will be reading the fine print for all races from now on! 

    I think training without music is just incredible and builds an insane amount of confidence and resilience for athletes. If you can endure long training sessions without music, you will be very impressed with yourself and what you are able to accomplish. my watch also died on mile 6 of my run which was  a big pivot I had to make..so CHARGE your device people! to be fair, my watch was fully charged at 3am when I put it on, but it just did not have enough juice for he whole day..so maybe I'll be trading in my apple watch for something with a better battery!
