WOW, Its been a long time waiting. Long time training. I have been waiting for this moment for so long. To have some of the most important people in m y life there to support me made this even a better experience than I could have ever imagined. It was by far the toughest race I have ever done. Not just because the obvious 1.2 mile swim, 56 mile bike ride and the 13.1 run, but the elements were even more challenging then the course itself. I did swim faster than I planned and definitely rode faster than I thought I could but the run did kick my ass. I did come out still with 7 minutes faster than my last IM70.3. I am happy about that. My learning experience even more. I have more training to do more to learn. I still have more races on my road to be a true Ironman.
