  • Comments: I was in the best shape I've ever been in, and much more prepared for this Ironman than the last 2. Yet between the heat, humidity and who knows what other factors, I got my first DNF ever. It's really hard emotionally when you train and prepare all those countless hours for one race, and then you don't even finish. Sure I can say I tried my best, or that I made it 138 of the 144 miles. But in the end, I didn't finish. But I figure I have 2 options. I can either wallow in it, or I can move on. In the end, crossing that finish line doesn't define me. It doesn't make or break me. It's just part of life. Sure it's disappointing, but there will be other races, and I'll use the DNF as motivation for the next one.
