Things I learned today:
1. "Mass start" is really code for in-water melee. DO NOT LIKE.
2. It doesn't suck nearly as badly as you think it will suck. Be confident and do the work, and you, too, can be an Ironman.
3. Make a lot of good little choices throughout the day (and days before) and you will have a great race.
4. Finishing, period, is awesome. Finishing your first Ironman hand-in-hand with your partner = priceless.
5. There is not enough body glide in the world to completely prevent chafing. Fact.
6. The journey was actually really fun, and I'm super happy I had years of helpful Team coaches (Todd, John,Sean, Emily, just to name a few) & wonderful training partners to push me and grant me sage advice for the big day.
7. I hurt and I am tired, but it was WORTH IT.
That's all I can muster for now. Hugs thanks to everyone who was cheering (near and far) and spectating today. You guys are the bomb.com.
G'night!
