Comment: Blackwood Marathon Relay 2008

This is a great result David - well done. I can't believe you're disappointed with your running though - you should be proud of just being able to complete an iron-man event! I've been to some of these events now and seen how many IM's drop out from overexhastion. 'Tis better to pace yourself and not get an injury so be happy just to know you've finished your first IM and you're healthy enough to compete again for this weekend. You are too humble in your reports though - you came 2nd in the cycle leg and 4th in the swim, 6th in the paddle and yes 12th in the run (but let's be honest, there was only 2 minutes between 6th place to 12th place). The competition is tough. I'm proud of you anyway, love Shel :-)
