Well the race is over! i had a great swim (1 hr 16min) and a decent bike (6hr 57min) but i made a crucial error and forgot to vaseline my feet....so I really, really hurt my feet! I tried to run the first 3 miles, but then I could only run/walk until the halfway point. then I just walked the 13 miles. I wanted to quit, but no fucking way was I going to quit before I finished! My time was 14 hours and 37 minutes....which was my worst time in the 3 times I have done the Ironman, but I still finished! it's all about persistence and determination!
