This was my first IM distance race, and to state the obvious - 96 degrees + wind = B-R-U-T-A-L! I survived, but it will take some time to decompress and evaluate whether it’s something worth repeating.
Congratulations to everyone who toughed it out yesterday.
Congrats on toughing out on what sounds like a brutal day weather wise. It may take some time, but you’ll be back.

Outstanding, Huge accomplishment!!! Congrats.
Great job Mike. Yep, VM can be brutal. I have done one IM. Took a lot out of me.
And, I have no desire at the moment to go back and do that again. What for?
I had much more fun racing full tilt in an Oly race today, and being home be 2.

Thanks all for the words of encouragement. I’m sure that once all the muscle soreness fades my outlook will be much brighter.
