Will post some pics later and write a full race report soon. I had a great day out there. Felt great for most of the day and executed my race plan very well. I was very happy with the way my race went. I couldn't be happier. My realistic goal was to finish under 12 hours but I just wanted to race hard but enjoy it. I didn't know how my body would respond so I just concentrated on being in the present and sticking with my plan. Finished in 11:04:19. Broke my stand alone marathon PR by 20 minutes.
Other tidbits:
An 11 foot mako shark was caught 100 yds offshore just 2 miles away from where we were swimming.
The swim was absolutely brutal. I got punched in the head about a hundred times. Crazy. Some guy got caught using fins.....idiot.
The bike was flat and fast. Major pelotons, like a 100 riders riding together at times. Pretty comical actually.
I felt like a million bucks starting the run and was passing a ton of people on the first leg and throughout the run. My stomach became unsettled by mile 16 or so. I had to slow down to keep from blowing up.
Time for some rest.
