Desaru International Long Distance Triathlon – Short Version

Completed my first Half Ironman in 6:13hrs. I am praying for a 6:30hr finishing which is a challenge by itself. 7:00hrs should not be a problem to me unless I encounter any mishap. Finishing in this time is totally unexpected for me. It is a good feeling though. However, I have doubts that the distances are accurate. Nevertheless, it is not going to take away the experience and the exhilaration of completing my first HIM.

Split Times

Swim(2km): 00:57
Bike Out: 01:02
Bike(90km): 04:10
Run Out: 04:15
Run (21km): 6:13

This is my first HIM and I chose to take it easy. I enjoyed the race despite a few mishaps. Well, what’s done is done. I’ll just take it as part of a learning experience and move on.
