What a hard day today! Finished 5th at Ironman UK. My swim felt a little bit less than 3 weeks ago, didnt really find a good group to swim with. On the bike I felt really good on the technical and very hard course (2000 altitude meters). The only problem was that I finished my gels too early, so the last 25 km on the bike I had no gels left. I didnt feel it on the bike, but I paid for it during the run. I felt really good for the first 10 km and ran pretty fast from 4th position to third, but then my energy level went down very very fast. I took everything I could in the energy labs, mostly cola and red bull... For the last 15 km I felt better again, but al the kilometers in between felt just terrible! I cant really complain with a 5th place for my first Ironman, but I know I could have done better. But really happy that I could finish and know I can say that I am an Ironman.
