Sean Craig represented Finish Strong well at Ironman Australia held in March. Sean was thrilled to reach his goal! Sean kept a nice comfortable pace from start to finish in the swim. His swim was so wonderful that he almost felt like he was holding back. When he transitioned from the swim, he was disappointed to find that someone stole his towel and powerbar out of his bike bag. But he got over that and headed off on the bike. Sean found the bike more difficult than he expected. Starting off with six miles of hills, he flatted at mile five. He kept going and was really feeling the effects of increased wind and hills at the turn around point. But he got through it and went on to the run. He felt pretty good on the run, but did have some cramping at times.
Sean told me, "The key to finishing the race was the hydration and nutrition plan that you created, without it there was no way I would be able to deal with the heat and the full day's worth of activity." Sean went on to pass many people on the run, including a 15 x Ironman. Congrats, Sean!!
