From the sound of the swim there's no way I would call that a 'fail.' I say this finish will HELP you through the marathon because you've proved again how tough you are-- get excited!<br /><br />By the way-- you + Kelley have the best race reports. She takes great photos. And I'm not just saying that because of all the eye candy.

This is going to be a long way. Of course, I was swimming with my swim safe belt.<br /><br />The swim distance alone at these Olys teaches you to respect the distance, and to do that, you have to train seriously.<br /><br />I so admire you for the grit and determination you showed. You are an Olympic distance triathlete now. No one will ever take that away from you.<br /><br />Good luck with your recovery!
