I was doing quite well until my ankle went on the marathon, I had to retire at mile 20 for a DNF. 1.06 for the swim 5:51 for the bike I was 4th in my age group going in to the run. Frustrating after all that training. The wet start on the bike section meant I went down the twisty descent from the hill at Rivington at 27 mph the first time, 35 mph the second time and 43 mph the third time whoo hooo.

Understatement alert!

I love that descent I do, it's just a pity about the unavoidable ascent* you have to do to enjoy it

*and 3 times on the Ironman It kills me doing it once on a Sunday pootle
