5430 Boulder Half

Hey Everyone, I raced the 5430 in Boulder yesterday which is the Half Ironman in town here. I ended up finishing 4th which is alright but I was disappointed with the result. I came out of the water in 3rd place and rode with my mate stephen hackett for the whole 90km and we came off the bike in 2nd and 3rd about 4mins down from tim o'donnell the leader. I felt really good heading out on the run and the gap was down to 1min 40sec after a few mile but a couple km into the 2nd lap I started to die and with about 3 mile to go I blew and got passed by Simon Thompson and Brian Fleischmann and finished in 4th. If I'd run properly I could've won so it was disappointing but at least I put myself into a position to win the race. I just wasn't good enough. Race in Chicago in less then 2 weeks now. I think I should be in some good form for the biggest race in the world!! Looking forward to it. Going to get some new photos from yesterdays race and put the up on the website Go dragons!! Barny/Paul
