Comments: My original goal was 11:59 but that quickly faded to 12:30, and unfortunately slipped. Basically the bike smoked me, and I suffered on the run. But to tell the truth, I suffered on all phases of this race, starting with the swim. It was a race finished by sheer determination.
Being my 3rd Ironman, the euphoric finish is an exhilaration that never gets old, especially when its Kona World Championship, a dream come true.
Although it wasn't the time I wanted or hoped for, it still was the best effort I had in me that day. I am not disappointed with my efforts, as I felt I planned, and executed to the best of my ability. I have no excuses but neither regrets. I am very satisfied with the best day of my life.
Finally as a personal note of gratitude, I thank my coach Amy, for sticking with me for all the training, and her incredible support. I truly appreciate her dedication to get me through this great race.
