IMWI

Just a short post on IMWI.

Thanks for all the great emails, calls and texts. It was not my day out there, but I did breakthrough with a 52:16 swim and started the bike with the leaders. I rode along in 4th for a while and then slipped to 8th, then made it back up to 6th before I flatted at mile 60. After that I just didn't have any strength on the bike. I ran ok for about 15mi, before stomach probs forced me to slow.

I did finish. This is something that I believe you always have to do unless you have a medical reason. I will now recover for a week before continuing to move forward. Thanks for reading!

Cheers,

BB

Blake, saw you on the course a number of times, and you were so nice, even though it wasn't your day. You showed more class than I've seen in quite a while, and even though you were hurting, to stay in there and finish showed this age grouper that you're the real deal. I applaud you, and wish you nothing but better days on your journey.
