Victoria Half Iron 2010

Despite a reduced training workload in 2010, I was very happy to complete the New Balance Victoria Half Iron. This was my 3rd time at this event, and I can say it has to be one of the nicest Half distance events.


This year's course threw in a really nasty hill due to a construction detour. I can still hear the "Oh sh*t .. crash!" behind me my last time up it when another rider lost momentum and fell half way up the final part. And more than a few riders became walkers as they decided to take a smarter approach and not risk falling.


In the end I finished the race in about 5hr 37 min, or about 17 minutes behind last year. But everything considered, I'll gladly take that!
