Subject: You nailed it
Your article was exactly my thought process and almost exactly my finish time for my first Ironman. I was 14:03:04. My swim was faster than I thought as I had very little time in my swim suit and mostly stayed in the pool. So I got some speed from my suit. However in the second have of the swim my right leg went into spasm (still don't know why) and it locked it up. So the bike I focused on changing my pedal position and used my left foot more. Then the marathon came, I ran the first 10kl and the pain was over whelming. In my head I thought "I can still walk and make it before the cut off time" I managed to run the second half of the marathon and finished. Your thought process was exactly what I thought in my head though, and I told most people "I just want to finish" However in my head I was thinking somewhere between 12 and 13 hours. Next is the Goofy Challenge in Disney world!! half on the sat and a full marathon on the sun. Why do we do this again?
