A personal thank you to all that came out and help supported the YMCA/GCAT
Triathlon. It didn't hit me until later Saturday that I forgot to thank you
during the awards ceremony. Please see the e-mail below from Michelle @ The Y.

Hello to all Ironmans, Just wanted to say Congrats to everyone who finished IMFL. I looked up everyone's race results and WOW, looks like everyone kicked ass!!!

Beach 2 Battleship was in Wilmington, NC

B2B was a Great race. If you want a PR or you're a horrible swimmer, this is the Iron for you. I thought it might be a logistical nightmare with 2 transitions, but the RD did a great job on getting people to and from the race. Weather was wicked cold, temps in the high 30's.

The swim starts in a intercoastal channel with an incoming tide. And I mean rip roaring incoming tide. The bouys were flying by me like a freight train. It is also point to point, so there are no bouys to turn around. Most of the athletes swam 1:00 hr or less for the 2.4 mile swim.

The bike course is mostly flat and is one loop going North and then coming back South. The problem is the headwind. But overall I really like the course.

Now for the run. 2 Loop course. Several big hills. 2 Large bridges to run over. The run starts from T2 at the Battleship and goes thru downtown historic Wilmington, which has cobblestones, into a beautiful park and back. The run was fun but tough, but who cares because most of us are walking anyway.

I would have liked to take 30-40 mins. off of my IMFL times just based on how fast the swim was but with my wicked long T1 time, trying to put 2 layers of clothing on and the headwind coming back on the bike course I was not able to do that. Total time was 13:03.

I would do this race again.

Oh, I forgot to mention the awesome Tech shirts. We received 2 long sleeve Tech shirts one black B2B and one navy blue B2B finishers shirt. The finishing medal was a battleship the size of my damn forehead. Awesome!!!
