Well my Ironman is done. Thanks for all of the support and encouragement. It was a hard day to say the least. The swim was like nothing I have ever swam in before, 2-3ft waves, I really didnt get calmed down in the water until about 1/4mile in, but once I calmed down the swim was great! The bike was awesome and pretty easy until I had a spoke break on my back wheel at mile 46 which means my back wheel wobbled super bad, and felt like my back brake was on for the last 10 miles of the ride. I didnt really feel safe going any faster than about 15mph, which is a bummer cause that was the downhill part of the course. The run was pretty tough, had a very steep hill at mile 1 and then 2 loops. The first loop was rough, walked way more than I had ever thought I would. My knee (IT band) was killing me, got to lap 2 and finally spotted Keith White, we walked and jogged for a couple miles and at mile 11, I headed to the finish, and he had another lap to go. Finally after 7:11:58, I finished....limping, but I finished, and thats all that matters!
