After taking a month off to recover from Ironman Switzerland on the 10th of July I am expecting that tomorrow's race will be very challenging as the race intensity is totally the opposite of how I raced at Ironman Switzerland.

Racing the Ironman a month ago required a much slower and consistent pace than what is required for tomorrow 's event.

I am expecting to redline during the run portion of tomorrow's event as first race consists of a 400m all out swim followed by a super hard 2 mile run.
