So just wanted to let everyone know that I finally did my Ironman last Sunday in Louisville, KY
2.4 mile swim
112 mile bike
and a little 26.2 mile run!
It wasn't all that bad. The swim went pretty well, I swam it in 1 hr and 29 minutes. Pretty average.. The swim was held in the Ohio River!!! The bike was the toughest. I mean at mile 80 you want to shoot yourself. I was expecting a 7 hr bike but completed it in 6 hrs and 24 minutes. I was sitting on the toilet in transition from bike to run. I though I had to go crap( and it wasn't coming out) While in the port a potty all I could think about was that I had to go run a damn marathon. I was hoping for a 4 hr 30 minute marathon but that didn't happen. I made a mistake and started talking to this pretty cool 19 year old kid doing his first Ironman also. I decided to hang out and run with this guy. I ended up walking more than I usually do and more than I needed to to. Anyways I finished in 13 hrs and 34 minutes. My goal was 14 hrs or better. I am planning on doing Ironman Florida on November 7th. It's nice and flat should be able to improve and take at least an hour off of my time. Just wanted t share with you all... I am pretty proud of myself!!
