Race Report 2 – run and finish line

Sorry sorry sorry ! Away for a week – no access to Internet, but time to write this not-so-short recollection of how I spent some 4 hours and 33 minutes of my life on the streets of Frankfurt last month.

A bit of tin for all the work

Race Report – Ironman Germany 6th July

<< Have you noticed in Blogroll, the link to my pictures … good – i thought so>>

This took way longer than i though it would to get around to … some of this no doubt is due to the fact that i started with a new company this week, so there’s been lots of fussing around last week to clear my desk before leaving as well as a natural reluctance to do too much of anything – be it athletic or otherwise after an ironman. Thanks to all readers who stuck with me over the course of the last 7-8 months, and particular thanks to the ones who left comments and encouraged me over recent weeks. Much appreciated!

So grab a cup of coffee – turn off your phone – get a comfy chair – let the kids go play in traffic … it was a long day, so you know this is going to be a long long report. I leave it to you as to the merits and quality of the report of course. For this post i’ll just focus on the race day itself – there’s other stories to relate about the journey over, the race village, the couple of days in Frankfurt and all that.

Its done – 11 hours 53 mins – go Yendor!

<< Short short post – full report to follow sometime>>

Well reader, thanks for staying with me on this journey … i’m delighted to say that on Sunday 6th of July i did become an official Ironman @ Frankfurt.

11 hours and 53 minutes of my life spent on the roads and waters around Frankfurt am Main – plus of course the many hours of my last year spent on the roads and waters around Dublin preparing for the big day.

Full details about all the Irish contingent @ IMDE08 available here
More details to follow in a couple of days I hope about the race build up, and of course race day itself.
