For those of you that don't know, I have been spending my spare time training for a half Ironman. The race was this Saturday. I have good news and bad news. The bad news is that I was almost last. The good news is that I had my personal best time ever on the swim and the bike. My time was 7:13:32. This is about an hour faster than I expected to finish, so I'm really pleased. My swim was 45:35 for 1.2 miles. My bike was 4:07:32 for 56 miles. My run was 2:20:25 for 13.1 miles. On the race website is a video of the race http://www.endurancesport.co.nz/aucklandhalf/ . I feature in it at about 4:09. Notice how slowly I am going. You can also see the full results from the race on the website. The weather was fantastic and the course was incredibly beautiful. It was a great experience, but I have no intention of ever doing it again.
