dude, that's really bad luck. I'm sorry. I got a flat two triathlons ago, with no way to patch it. I ran the last mile or so, in very uncomfortable bike shoes no less. I feel your pain. Good job however. Very well done

You get extra points for stick-to-it-ism. Nicely finished -- better than I certainly could do under similar circomstances...

Wow. Nice way to stick with it through the bad luck on the bike. That is a lot of running when you are not expecting it.

Awsome job.
