I don't trust Ironmanlive splits to be up to date, so I'll check back in a bit to see if the bike and T2 times come in. I hope everything is going well!! (Trying not to be worried)

I dnf'd 10 miles into the bike.
I'll write more later, but I'm not in the right frame of mind right now.

Thinking of you with affection and respect, kiddo, and glad you're okay.

I'm sorry to hear that. It's never an easy decision to DNF, especially when someone is as tenacious and gutsy as you! I hope that you are okay.

Hang in there Susan! I'm sure it wasn't an easy decision, and I'm sure there was a d@mn good reason.

Hugs, Susan. A lot of people DNF'd today, according to my friend the super athlete who also DNF'D. She got hypothermic after the swim, was about 10 miles into her biking, couldn't brake at all due to the hills and dangerously wet and slippery pavement, and called it quits. She said there were a lot of crashes and lots of aid vehicles. Hope you got out safely.

I'm sorry Susan. It's so hard to DNF a race, especially one that you put so much heart into. I'll be very interested to hear your report.
ETA - Oops, somehow I missed the report. Just found it. I'm going back to read it now.Last edited by Wahine; 07-16-2012 at 12:42 PM.
