We asked Tim Monk, the individual who has the second fastest time ever - 9:53:19 - of any Ironman in Montgomery County and Spring - and on the Ironman Wisconsin course, to give us his five (5) keys for success tomorrow for his fellow University of Denver alum, Kim Hager.
Tim, who made his coaching debut this weekend by helping Finish Strong Racing's Dana Lyons with a half-Ironman camp at La Torretta Resort - the site of November's Iron Star Triathlon, prefaced his comments by saying that Kim "does not need much help; she is the best!"
Hager is the owner of the fastest women's time ever by someone in the Woodlands MultiSport coverage area with her 10:20:47 at Ironman Florida in 2006 - her last Ironman.
Monk's top five were as follows:
1. Ride the first loop on the bike easy.
2. Ride the first loop on the bike easy.
3. Don't forget to ride the first loop easy!
4. Enjoy the first loop on the run and hold the pace steady. It can be hard with all the crowds. (You will want to run fast because your legs are fresh from the ride.)
5. Take in the crowds at the end. There is no other north American race like it!
He closed with, "Go Kim!" Just like, "On Wisconsin!"
