Race Recap
Well the week started out good. Going into IM Wisconsin, I felt really prepared. If I only knew what was in store for me come race day Sunday. I don't know what was worse. The wind on the bike or the heat on the run. I was walking by mile 2 of the marathon, and I called it quits 20 miles into the marathon as I could barely walk anymore and my vision started to blur. I'd rather just forget about this race, but I did learn a valuable lesson about pacing myself for the long haul, and taking the Ironman for granted.
Here's some great footage from the swim.
