Michael Prise dropped 30 minutes @ Ironman Coeur d'Alene
Michael Prise 2nd Ironman CDA finished in 11:27,
18th in his age group. Last year was his
first Ironman with a time of 12:03. As
we know the race is won or lost in during the Marathon, but you need to ride
the bike well to have a solid Marathon.
He nailed it!!! With a sub 6 hour bike leg and keeping his HR in Tempo
for a majority of the bike, he lost the signal to his power meter in the
transition area, despite the climbing, he kept everything in control. The weather was almost idea, being overcast
for most of the day. Two weeks before
the event, his CTL was 110. Most important
is that he went into the race without any lingering injuries to worry
about. He started the Marathon at a much
slower pace than last year and only walked during the aid stations finishing
the Marathon in 4:04.
