Race Report: 2014 Naperville IRONMAN. SWIM:Done T1:PR BIKE:Completed T2:Super fast RUN:Smokin! Woke at at 4:45am and got ready. Out the house by 5:30am with no breakfast! Why? Because I want to be an IRONMAN....Got to transition and got ready. We started to walk down to the non wetsuit swim. I freaked out then I started getting hungry. The Canon went off (voice of Bill Burke said Go!) Six of us took off. I spotted and saw King Osabi legs so I started yanking and pulling it so I can pass him. I knew he was nervous because it was his first OWS non wetsuit race. I couldnt swim on top of him so I decided to let it be. Finally after long 8 minutes + swim, I finally see the light! I ran quick to T1, passed by hotdog stand and wished they were open. Ran and jumped on the bike and pedaled hard and I felt like my quads were burning. I just realized my taper was 16+mile run the day before my A race. Why? Because I wanna be a Naperville IRONMAN..... finally bike was done! I rack the bike because king osabi was not far behind. I was putting on my socks and this b@sturd said, Hurry up!!! It couldnt be Jeremy Lugue because hes doing the IRONMAN Naperville too! I look up and damn it was KING! I RAN just so he couldnt catch up to me. My heart rate was up and I know right there and then I was smoking KING! Finally after three mile up and down, steep hills, 110 degree weather I can see the finishing line this way sign I hear music! I saw the arch so I speed up and raised both arms. WTH?!? It was a trick! The finishing line was on the second arch 100 yards from where I was about to pass out! I redline so I end up speedwalking towards the finishing line. Overall it was a fun race and glad I did it after three years of planning. The end! Oh yeah, king got SMOKED! Dammit, I have to do this race again next year. Wyn said I didnt do the butterfly on the swim. S.M.H!!!
