Just got back from IM Boulder. Found a crack in my frame the thursday before the race. Brokencarbon.com did an amazing rush repair, and got the bike ready in time.
Then, woke up in the morning with a migraine and aura, but got to the start line (which I barely remember) and got thru the 3.8k swim in my slowest time ever..1h19 ouch. Sat in transition for 8mins with my head down..which felt like an eternity and almost called it quits. Got on the bike and on the caffeinated gels....about 20k in my vision cleared, 50k the headache went away. 5h50 bike split for the 180km...yuck, and then anything I had left for the marathon. Not the race I had planned, but got thru it. There's dark moments in any race...just never thought they would start at the beginning of the race.
