Just read the race report for this, sounds like a very hard day.  Congratulations on finishing this, Chris.  Well done.

yes well dune Chris, welcome to the world of pain and suffering!! ( you do get used to it after time ) and even kind of enjoy it

Thanks guys. It was a massively memorable day and has made me love what we do even more. I love the saying 'Pain is fleeting, failure lasts forever'. Its what kept me going on those last few miles. Something I was dwelling on was whether I would have pulled out if I had already completed an IM, as the thought of walking away from that race without my medal was far worse than any pain/nausea I was feeling. As i intend to pace all my future races better I gues we'll never know
