IraGo Triathlon: Chasing Gold Part II

 


Another week, another triathlon. That’s 3 middle distance races in 4 weeks.

 

308k of cycling, 62k of running, 6.2k of swimming, roughly the equivalent of 1.7 Ironman races. I must be tired… 😉 

Irago was the destination for my final triathlon of September. Tim and I did the race last year with stellar results, and we were hoping for some podium spots… but it was not to be. Blame it on dehydration and lack of recovery from those races in Sado and Hokkaido. It was hotter than last year needless to say. 

I was happy with the swim, probably a PB for over 2k distance. As soon as I started riding the bike, I knew it wasn’t going to happen. I had zero power and could feel my chest heaving as my heart rate raced above 170 bpm. I was dreading the run as I pulled into T2, but it was actually better than last week in Sado and 3 weeks ago in Hokkaido. Knowing that I don’t have any more races this month was comforting, so I tried to put the pedal to the metal on the run.

 

Swim:

Same feeling as the last 2 races, different day. Once again (hopefully for the last time), the swim was my best decent discipline of the day. The water was a “cool” 26 degrees C, 3 x 750 meter triangular loops. I was satisfied with 1:46 pace, 41 minutes for 2.25k. Watch said 2.6k which is 1:35 pace including zigzags. I used more freestyle this week and less breaststroke, probably 80% free style.

 

Bike:

I knew it wasn’t my day as soon as I saddled up. There was no natural burst of speed that you usually get after a swim. Even on the first of 5 x 14k laps I was feeling the hurt. Initial speed was 34 kph which dropped to 33 quickly, than 32, than 31 kph average speed by the end. My back ached after 2 laps. I was struggling to stay in aero position after 3 laps as I saw Tim going the other direction, about half a lap ahead. I thought he might lap me but he was about the same distance away on the next lap so I figured he was suffering as well. I was also getting dehydrated with only 1 bottle the whole ride. The other bottle fell off the back rack and I couldn’t be bothered to retrieve it. I rolled into T2 in 2:07 (31 kph) versus 1:56 (34 kph) last year.

 

Run:

I wondered if I would actually be able to run with any pace as I changed shoes. I was severely dehydrated so grabbed 3 cups of water right after the T2 gate, and headed up the first hill in the heat of the day. Unfortunately, the cloud cover was minimal after a 30% chance of rain had been forecasted. It wasn’t as hot as Sado last week but still sweltering around 30 degrees C. I attempted to run to the next aid station without stopping, but couldn’t get up the first hill without stopping. My chest was burning, and I than realized why I couldn’t run in Sado. My heartrate shot up to 170 bpm and I had only run a few hundred meters. I had to stop and gather myself for 20 seconds, run a bit, regather. This went on for the first 2k of the climb to the beach, running at a painfully slow 7-minute pace. It was demoralizing getting passed by runners that first few K. At the top of the hill I was able to run downhill reasonably, but had to climb another hill before the flat beach section. I faltered again, submitting to the urge to stop. After regathering for the 5th time, I finally was able to run from 5k on. Next splits were 5:46, 6:13, and I continued at roughly 6-minute pace which wasn’t bad considering the heat and fatigue. Much better than Sado or Hokkaido at least. At around 8k I got into a rhythm and my heart rate eased back to 140. I began to pass some runners and my confidence returned at 10-15k. I dug down deep for the final climb with 3k to go and used the last downhills increasing stride as much as possible.

 Total time was 5:02:18, 157th place out of 414 starters. AG 14th place out of 65 starters. Last year was 4:24:42 for 55th place, 1st in AG. I would have been 2nd in AG with that kind of time this year but motto was too hotto. Coulda woulda shoulda! 

Next stop: rest and relaxation in Shimoda for a few weeks, than Kawazu Triathlon OD end of October.

Sado Triathlon, Motto was very very hotto...


  

Give up some kudos for the resilient TnT group who battled the 40 degree C scorcher!

All of the elite 8 finished the B course while the sun was still high in the sky.

 

Hoshi-san lived up to his name nabbing 7th in age group (AG). He’s a star 星!

Rookie on a rampage Gerry took 5th in his AG. You can’t stop him, you can only hope to Gerrymander him!

Group leader Yuuka-sama was a superstar all day and still had energy to organize dinner, wine, and the post race party. ii kanji desu ne!

Professor Ken once again delivered a tremendous run despite limited training this summer, lecturing to bewildered pupils along the course!

Killian also lived up to his name, ignoring 2nd degree burns on his limbs, smiling all the way to the line. He was Killian it!

Meeks, amid doping allegations, gutted it out despite a nagging hip injury. Where does that extra gear come from?? Hmmmmm

King Duncan fought through a nasty virus and heavy sunburn to bring home the sizzling bacon!

And Motozo shuffled through his 2nd middle distance in 3 weeks. Hotto Motto was very very hotto, he ought to start a fast food chain!

 

Mika T had entered the A race but unfortunately a bike accident prevented her from toeing the line on race day. It was great to feel her support on the swim and bike course! Next year the Tokairin Shinkansen will seek revenge!

 

It was my 3rd time to complete the B-course, basically once per decade in my 30s, 40s, and 50s. It gets hotter every time with the road hitting 40 degrees C on the run course. I probably won’t be back to Sado until my 60s unless they move the date to October. I dreaded the unshaded blazing hot run in early September but somehow found myself entered in the race this year. Yuuka and Duncan’s tremendous organization made it a seamless and enjoyable weekend no matter how much we suffered on the course.

 

Swim:

Similar to Hokkaido Tri, the swim was my only decent discipline of the day. Despite a lukewarm 29 degrees C water temperature, I was happy with 1:48 pace, 38 minutes for 2k. I took it easy all the way, mixing breast stroke with free style, drafting all the way. Was delighted to see Mika T cheering us on the beach as we exited the water. “What happened??”, I asked, “Various things”, she replied, and I was off to T1 before we could continue the conversation.

 

Bike:

I took it pretty easy on the first half as I was intimidated by the heat. I passed Gerry who had a really good swim, and he soon accelerated and returned the favor. Hoshi-san flew by with a peloton of 6-7 riders at 30k. The aid stations were well prepared with plenty of fresh water and sports drink bottles ready for a drive-by pick up.

 I felt OK halfway through the 108k course but didn’t have the energy to really put the hammer down, cruising at 30 KPH. Despite the easy pace, I still I hit a wall after the big climb at 80k, and struggled to pedal back into town. My lower back was aching and I couldn’t get more than one gel down. I was barely hanging on at 25 KPH the last 20k. The sight of the town at T2 brought some mental relief, although a 21k run in extreme heat was daunting.

 

Run:

As mentioned it was a total sufferfest with no shade along the coast for most of the 2 x 10.5k loops. After two toilet breaks at 3k, I felt somewhat human but had very little energy to run with pace. There were aid stations every 1.5k which became my little psychological goal. I doused myself with ice water ever aid station and stuffed ice packs to cool down. I took in 2 cups of water/sports drink with salt tablets almost every aid station. Basically I jogged 1.5k and took 30 seconds off every aid station. It was painfully slow but at least I didn’t stop “running” for the entire 21k. The run through the town at the halfway point helped somewhat as there was a tiny moment of shady running through the shopping street. Local people showered us with their hoses which was usually helpful except my shoes were getting soaked.

 

The 2nd lap was the longest slog ever with the occasional high-five or pleasantry exchange to teammates along the way. At 18k I could see the last turn into town, almost in disbelief that the finish line was within reach. I did my typical sprint to the finish line, happy to be done but shocked by my snail pace. Total time was 7:29, 216th place out of 735 starters, almost 2 hours slower than 2017’s 5:47 for 40th place overall. AG was a little more respectable, 34th place out of 114 starters.

 

Next stop: Irago Triathlon this Sunday, Sept. 10, the last stop until October. Looking forward to some down time!
