I think that was the hardest thing I’ve ever done–70.3 miles. The hardest part was fighting off the incredibly powerful urge to stop running and curl up for a nap by the side of the road. I almost couldn’t resist it. But I finished!

I’ll write a longer post later, when I’m less completely spent, but a couple key thoughts:

• How the hell do people do full Ironman races? Seriously.
• Blue Seventy wetsuits make you go really, really fast
• I found I can come up with possible solutions to a Plone/Salesforce/Paypal integration problem we’re up against, all while swimming in a pack of triathletes. Geek.
• Triathlon bikes are some of the coolest machines I know. They are speed demons and so efficient. What a blast to ride one.
• Don’t drive yourself home from your next half Ironman–it’s hard to stay awake.

Now to bed.
