Comments: I had some lofty goals for this race and some fast predicted splits. My goal was to finish in under 5 hours, and I would have been stoked with any time under 5:30. For some reason I'm not dissapointed to finish in over 6 hours because I suffered so much just to complete the race. I have bonked before...but not like this...and definately not twice in one race!! I had to dig deeper than I have ever gone to complete this race. I felt every emotion along the way. There is no way I even considered quitting the entire time! It just wasn't an option! I knew that Zoe and Zed were at the finish line waiting to see their dad finish...I thought about that the entire time I was on the run course!

Post race activities? Good
Overall course based on my ability: Too hard

Comments: The weekend is a lot of fun and they do a great job. The swim would have been on time if not for an accident which delayed a bus. I would recommend this race because it is so pretty and felt really safe and organized. They sun is relentless and the altitude, especially on the run, is high but what a great experience.
