I cannot set an example for something I don't do!
Have a coffee, maybe then you will wake-up and see reason.
If I have coffee now, I wouldn't be able to fall asleep until Wednesday....

As part of the 2024 London Marathon, I am fundraising for VICTA, a charity that helps blind and visually impaired children. My mentor while in law school, Jim K (a blind attorney), has been a huge inspiration and an example of courage and perseverance. Please consider donating.

You win.
running is bad for you
WOW thanks guys! My swim wave started at 7am so I missed all of this until just now.
Here's my recap:
I swimmed
I biked
run: totally kicked my a$$. I swear after the first loop I didn't know how I was going to make it until I saw Phil and he hugged me, gave me some words of encouragement and ran along side me for a quarter of a mile or so.
And then when I asked he confirmed I could still walk the whole thing and make the cutoff By I opted not to because I just wanted to get the hell outta there and "running" would make it happen faster. My runs turned into a fast walk but whatever - it's DONE and I'm an IRONMAN! WOOT!
Mmmmm...beer

Goals | sub-18 5k | sub-3 marathon 2:56:46!!
It's great strategy during any race and especially one that lasts for 15 hours!
Congrats to you and a big 'atta boy to Phil for picking you up when you needed it most!
Congrats! You rocked it!!
So amazing. Congratulations!
WOOT!
Understatement of the year. Tremendous job! I can't imagine how brutal the run was, after the swim & bike, in the late afternoon heat. Way to push through it.

I think back to my first 20 mile run, run in 90 degrees (that did NOT come after swimming and biking an eternity) and the disillusionment I experienced must have paled in comparison!
It's all relative. I bet you ran a LOT faster than I did!

LMFAO. You were late in posting her finish. Someone beat you to it. Silly. Remember, first you update, then you hug your Ironman!
