Final tally

Sorry for the delay:
I finished!
What a ridiculous race. So fun for a while and the such misery later.

Stats:
Time: 11 hrs 38 min.
Status: 7-22 min ahead of my estimate
Caffeine intake: equivalent to 14.5 cups of coffee
cramps: calf during swim, both quads during bike, both calves and both hamstrings during run
# of Pukes: None. Stomach is a steel trap i tell you.
Consumption: 5 pieces of pizza, bag of potatoes (in my back pocket akin to Napolean Dynamite), 15 gu gels, 4 gu chomps, 3 power gels, chicken broth, pepsi, gatorade, cytomax...
State of mind: Euphoria
How is my body feeling: tough to walk, stomach feels queezy, will lose a toe nail for big toe.
Highlight of the day: Tour de france like narrow path formed by rabid chanting fans with cowbells on the last big climb of the bike (felt like Lance Armstrong)
Low of the day: mile 15-16 on the run with big hills and cramping and the end felt so far away.

Lots of thoughts on this amazing day that I will get to later.
Thank you for the comments. Thanks to the 'brady bunch' for their support.

  2. Brady, you are incredible. Fletcher and I thought of you often yesterday, wondering how you were feeling and getting worried at the end when we didn't see anything for a while :) Glad you made it - what an accomplishment!
