Well, another 70.3 miles under my belt!! These miles were especially painful as my legs essentially stopped working about 6 miles into the run, however, still finished a respectable 41/1129 and 9th in my age group. It's the same guys up towards the top of this classification! I am thinking the top 10 guys in the 30-34 age group should get together and form a super triathlon-team! Travel the world, discouraging otherwise confident athletes worldwide!
The good thing about a bad race is that it humbles you and makes you keep wanting to get better. I know, for certain, that I have not had a "perfect race" yet, in fact, it doesn't exist...
Exactly 1 month until ironman wisconsin and as much as I hate to be ambitious about this type of thing, I must admit that I have been having delusions of grandeur about getting to hawaii...It seems I could be good enough, but there are so many variables that can change that one just never knows...
