70.3

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.
That’s 68.3 more miles than I could have done immediately after Dreamforce. Nice job!!
