heart rate data
i find this stuff very interesting. plotted below is my heart rate, taken every 15 seconds, for ironman uk last august and the half ironman in shepp in december. swim plotted in black, bike in blue, run in red.

ironman uk (august 2006)

the major thing to notice for ironman uk is that i had a really tough time after about 7 hours. notice the hr dropped considerably on the run and never returned. my run speed also dropped. if i can find a way to keep that up for longer, i should be able to go faster, even if that means going slower earlier in the race.

in shepp, i deliberately went conservative on the bike, with the occasional 'lazy' period.

very good point. stay tuned, i'll post data from my most recent race, another half ironman. some interesting data there too. short answer is yes, i stuck to that plan.
as you can see, i'm updating my blog in somewhat chronological order. and, there are a couple posts to make before that one.
agreed re sample size. working on that data collection thing, its a slow process! and it costs a lot of money to get 1 sample!
