My First Ironman – all the detail!

My first Ironman is complete and it was one of the most rewarding and fun days of my life.  Seriously, I loved it!!  I finished in the time I had in mind, had no major problems through the day and even smiled for most of it!  I’ll definitely do another one and I think you should too.

Going into race day for Ironman Australia 2012, my plan was to finish in 12-13 hours.  My official time ended up at 12hrs 40mins.  (The winner finished in approx 8hr 15mins while the last person crossed the line after almost 17 hours!)

Below is a quick summary of how I remember the day.  It was brilliant! (There are plenty more photos to see over here too)
