Haven't read back yet but the thought of the on-line supporters watching the tracker helped keep me pushing on for the last few miles when I'd almost convinced myself that I couldn't beat the cut off. Thank you x
Just listening to radio news. Dover to Calais (or more pertinent Calais to Dover) is having problems again, more strike action. Watch out if you are travelling back soon.
Hey Trogs you really kept us in suspense at the end with the cut off. Live tracker went down. I knew you were close so it was a relief to see your time.
Thanks everyone for making my 1st Ironman such an amazing experience; competitors and supporters alike, you have been superb. Sailing with the Pirates has been awesome, and I do not use that word lightly!
Well done to those that finished, and commiserations to those that didn't.
