Well that didn't go to plan. I didn't feel great through the night before feeling very hot and no sleep. On the plus side I nailed the swim even though they were still setting off the last swimmers when I came to enter on the 2nd lap. 26th overall and 2nd in my age group.
The early part of the bike went to plan but I really took it easy knowing that 2700m of climb is a lot. I got to 50 miles and my legs were just empty even though I was fuelling well. I kept plugging away hoping that they would come back but I had to really push hard to keep the power and after 80 miles I pulled the pin.
I was over the race very quickly and will not be doing an IM next year, I will concentrate on pushing half IM's hard.
