My Kona 2015

It’s now almost 2 weeks since I raced at Kona World Champs and to be honest, I’m still a little shell shocked or is that deep fried…?

I have read quite a few blogs and race reports over the last 10 days and the one thing that has struck me is that most of us had similar fears, doubts and insecurities; both before and during the race. You imagine that you’re the only person at the start thinking “What the hell am I doing here, why am I doing this to myself?” I will never forget that feeling when I was standing on the beach ready to enter the water. As it turns out, most of us are thinking the same thing. The other similarity is that during the race, we all think we are having the worst race and that everyone else is cruising. 

​I’ll just start by saying racing overseas is awesome and I would highly recommend Mallorca as a place to visit and to do an Ironman!
 
Ironman Mallorca was going to be my first Ironman. I have only finished five 70.3’s (three this year) and was keen to step it up to the full Ironman distance.
