Aloha – Finished. That was hard work. Tough conditions, took just over 31 hours to swim 6.2 miles, bike 261 miles and run a 52.4 mile double marathon. No wonder I am smiling. I am done!
Ultraman World Championships 2011, my 10th Ultraman distance finish on the Smith and Nephew BHR. I ended up second in the 50-59 division [male] after having a great battle with Dan Squiller from San Diego, who is now the reigning World Champ for that division. Always the bridesmaid it seems!
Dan went 1:09 faster than he ever has at that distance though, and I kept the pressure turned up the entire time.
So it was a great race and a really wonderful experience for a guy who was told he would never run again not that long ago !
Thank you !
