Horrible rain 10 minutes into the bike. A bad accident in front of me. Jumped off my bike to help. A guy was flying down the mountain. he un-clipped, lost control and took out a group in front of me. A girl was knocked out cold. A guy was covered in blood and having trouble breathing. Did what I could to help until help arrived. A bunch of us stopped. How could you not.
My race hopes were over at this point. Freaked me out. Took it real easy the rest of the way.

I had no motivation at this point. I was freaked out by the accidents. I was hoping my wife was okay. I saw her on the run course and felt better. She was also involved/delayed by several smaller accidents on the bike course.

Warm down:

waited for wife in tent

What limited your ability to perform faster:

rain, accidents

Event comments:

The race set up was great. Best Ironman set up in my opinion anywhere. I think due to the carnage on the bike course they should have thought about shortening the bike route to 1 loop. It felt very unsafe and nerve racking waiting for the possibilities of someone flying into you or falling down in front of you. I don't know if I would feel the same if I did not see the one horrible accidents and at least 5 other smaller ones.
On to Ironman Maryland for hopefully some better weather and revenge.
