It Wasn't Pretty, But It Got Did.

This was absolutely the hardest thing that I have ever done, and I would recommend it for everyone. The race was very well run, the volunteers were great (there must have been 1000 of them), and actually seemed glad to be there.

I have a lot to say about this race, and I would like to get a play by play report down on paper before too much time passes (I'm hoping that the bad memories fade much quicker than the good ones). But since I'm an idiot and don't really think things through (which we have established), I have 2 meetings scheduled for this morning and a big court hearing set for this afternoon -- so I won't be able to do any type of lengthy post this morning.

I should have some time to get my thoughts together and post the whole story tonight, because I'm sure as hell not working out.

Here is the Cliff's Notes version of Saturday --

SWIM: 42:05 (Couldn't have gone much better)
SWIM TO BIKE TRANSITION: 5:24
BIKE: 3:04:51 (Very happy with this time, but didn't feel great towards the end)
BIKE TO RUN TRANSITION: 4:40
RUN: 2:43:26 (Absolute longest 2:43:26 of my life. I wouldn't wish this on anyone).
FINISH 6:40:23 (I really wanted to break 6:30, but 6:45 was my back-up goal. Mission Accomplished).

Later.

Danny.
