Wow...that was the toughest race I have ever done in my life. I now know why they call it Africa's toughest triathlon. It was a long day and everything that could go wrong just about did, I lost my water bottle on the first lap, I fell of the bike and damaged my gears so I only a a few gears that worked...and it was hot! There was one particular time (on the last lap going up the last climb) where I felt like getting of the bike, sitting by the side of the road and having a good cry! I really struggled...but I did it!
Lessons...well I don't know except to say that I was reminded again that you need to put in the hard work behind the scenes (when no one is watching) if you want to reap the rewards (when everyone is watching)...private victory precedes public victory.
