This is where I would normally say “Never again!” But my race was deferred to 2021 already.

Thanks for the support all, the tritalk community really helped me through this - I really mean that. Your stars :star_struck:

Wow, absolutely amazing effort. I whimped out due to long run last weekend, Cascais coming up, blah blah… what you did today took a massive mental effort as much as physical effort. Don’t worry about your deferred IM you will be fine.

Brilliant!! Especially at your age :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

Love the running vest (my home town).

Enjoy the wine and rest up.

Expensive medal. Expensive postage from the US. Possibly worth it if it’s any different from the one I could buy for completing the distance in 7 days?

Right out of the top drawer, great stuff @joex :+1:

For a moment I thought you had brimmed that wine glass to the top!

No its my only wine glass left and glad I didnt, I only managed a few sips with a bit of rice and beef. Now comes the long week of fatigue, even after that day only slept 6 hours!

@Amanda the medals are expensive and pre-order so wont arrive until December but they are available from their European store. I dont think theyre any different for 7, 3, or 17h events but its doesnt look like many are finishing so far…could be the highest DNF for an IM event in history :wink:

Ah yes - €89.21 for the medal / t-shirt / cap bundle, including postage. I could order it now, and I haven’t finished the race. (I will, later.)

The DNF rates will be interesting.

Still a few hours left but the 17h SBR isnt great. I couldve KQd if theyd handed out slots :smiley:
