  • Comments: Fabulous race. Hard to compare anything to LP but this race was great. Great people, great town, great things to do....just great. Dissapointed that I didn't get to hang out with Mark (markz here on BT) but I did stop by his bike on the morning of the race and we chatted and wished each other luck. Not having a huge supporting cast of BT'ers makes for a longer day but I thought about a bunch of you guys as I raced. I was worried coming into this race as I had gotten slower with each of my previous IMs leading up to this one. Sure there were good reasons but they were things that I could have controlled. I had told Row, and only Row, I knew I had a sub 12 in me and if I didn't hit it I would have to seriously reconsider everything I have been doing including these IMs. I hit my mark and felt great but I was beat. More beat than I had ever been at the end of the IM. I pushed it all day long and I could feel it. My muscles were more sore than they had ever been. I gave it my

  • Comments: Prior to the race I thought it was just a dare, like Evil Knievel's jumping the Grad Canyon on a motorcycle... Well, this perception changed - it became much more than just a challenge, but I still can't put my finger on it...

  • Comments: I finished the race in much better condition than I had anticipated, I just didn't think it would be so emotional. It's a tough course without a doubt, but I wouldn't change anything about my day. Thank you to everyone who offered me support and words of encouragement, you were all in my thoughts during the day.

  • Comments: What a race, what a day, what an experience, what a way to spend 11hrs. It was an extremely enlightening event. I learnt so much about my endurance, mind control, pain and raw emotions. I thank my wife and family for the support and all the 4am start, the encouragement throughout the whole day and definitely the support over the 48hrs post race. Will I do it again .... yep. It was just an total package, the knowledge I can do it, I've done it and I survived. It was no where near the best thing I have ever done (that will always be reserved for my wedding day and the birth of our daughter) but was still an awesome experience that comes totally recommended by me :)
