Funny.....I had the urge to cry as well. Good to know the conditions affected others. Hopefully more chime in with race reports so we can all relive the day.

The day was just so ridiculously relentless from beginning to end. Yet I am strangely obsessed with the thought of going back. I've replayed the day over and over, noting tactics for improving my training and execution on race day. The black shirt may be my sole remaining objective in triathlon. At the same time, I am at peace knowing I had the privilege to experience Norseman. These are unusual emotions to process.

Congratulations on the black shirt! I see you came out of the water just behind me, left T1 12' in front of me and added another 30' through T2. What was your run split to 25k?

Hey rhayden,

I've assembled a Race Report in an attempt to create some closure. You'll see I share your sentiment about motivation for anything normal.

Hoping others do the same so we can share our stories.

Heia Heia,

Scott
