Total rest day. Both my hips and back are killing me. We drove from Louisville to Indy and spent the night with my in-laws.

Ironman Bike. Stomach went south at mile 80 in the heat
Walked roughly 90% of the marathon. Had to get medical help at mile 20. I sat at mile 20 for a good 30 minutes and didn't think I could go on. I felt better got up and walked. The heat and my stomach really did me in.
Ironman swim. If I could have gone in a straight line it would have been faster
Finished in 16:01. Stomach shut down about mile 80 on the bike. Struggled big time on the run and spent some time in medical during the run. But I finished.
Overall I am happy that I finished, but disappointed in the results. I thought my training was there, but the heat got to me. Next year at Ironman CDA I'm hoping for much better results.
