Operation Flinders results

The results are in for the guessing comp. Amazingly the guessing comp for both of us was won by the same person - one of the assistant coaches with our squad. Congratulations Coach Craig!!! Craig even donated one of his prizes back to Operation Flinders - a generous gesture on Craig's part.

All in all with guesses, sponsorships and donations we raised over $2,000 for Operation Flinders. We are so overwhelmed with the support we received from everyone.

Thinking about what I was doing for Operation Flinders really helped me through sections of the run, which you'll read about in the next Triathlete Chronicle, tentatively titled "Not Like the Others"... stay tuned...

The Quest continues...

Well, I finished Ironman WA in a time of just over 15:30 - a little disappointed that it wasn't a PB but it's been almost a week now so time has dulled the disappointment a little...

The experience of fundraising for Operation Flinders has brought about some real self reflection. I've decided that I should never lose sight of the fact that finishing an Ironman is quite a feat. PB or not, I got there in the end, and all my training friends were waiting at the finish line.

So, the Quest for the Perfect Ironman continues...
