Well, I am back at the hotel, and showered up.  Finished with a 12:04:57.  Not too happy about that, as my goal was to get a Sub 12 hour finish.

I can tell you this.  If I had done IM Louisville again, it would have been a Sub 12 hour finish.  This coarse is pretty doggone HARD! ! !

6 to 8 mph up some of these passes, and the high speed going down doesn't make up for it.  OH! ! !  And did I tell you about the STEEP hills on the run that Absolutely no one was running up. 

Wow, what a great course up here thogh! ! !

I'm sure everyone is having a blast.

Even a dissappointing day on the course is a fun day all in all. . . .

Thanks for the support everyone...

I think this was the hardest thing I've done and for a couple of hours thought I was going to DNF. Started cramping every hill after mile 47, then started puking so couldn't take in water/nutrition the rest of the bike. I felt so awful and my legs had nothing in them. My mind was gone and all I wanted to do was lay in the shade but there was none and no aid station. I had to walk up some of the hills otherwise my legs would cramp very badly. I didn't pee for about 7 hours and was dehydrated.

I pulled myself out of the darkest place I've ever been racing and was able to finish the bike within the cut off and that I'm proud. Run went well in a relative way...ran a lot PBed the run. I knew I could PB if I ran hard last three miles and I did with about 11 m/m and passed a lot of people no one else of was running. This was my victory...the course did not beat me.

This was very difficult for me and not what I expected but I'm happy with my mental fortitude.
