    Being realistic is boring.

    Sub 60 swim, sub 4:50 bike, sub 3 hour marathon and hopefully not overly long in the transitions.
    A Kona ticket is the main goal though, fingers crossed for third time lucky.

    Could somebody please update table for me (before I make a balls of it)
    CPH 9.50.

    Swim. 1.09. Swam long but I'll blame fog:-) Felt fresh coming out

    Bike. 4.53. Biked solid but controlled and bike legs were good. More rolling than expected making it hard at times to hold constant numbers so biked a lot off feel.

    Run. 3.38. Got greedy/cocky. Rookie mistake. Was holding 3.10/3.12 marathon pace for first 20ish km. Only took one gel and rest done on coke and water. Heat wasnt helping. Ended up running station to station and fully stopping at each for sponge showers. Had i been more mature and disciplined I'm confident a 3.20 could have been possible. All if's and buts...
    Always next time!

    I'd forgotten about my previous post here. Scarier the closer it gets.

    Well done the races in Copenhagen, Rob and Mossy.

    I missed my swim target by 7 seconds and I missed the bike target by 5:49. Had it not rained for the last 45 minutes or so on this leg, I'd have been a lot closer to it. And though the rain didn't help on the bike, it would have been a lot harder to run a sub 3 marathon only for it. Unfortunately too, I was 'overly long' in transitions. Yet again, I failed in the fourth discipline of triathlon.

    Still, the number one goal of Kona qualification was achieved. I honestly couldn't give a damn about the 2 minutes 25 seconds I needed to go under 9 hours. If finishing time time had ever been my motivation, I wouldn't have gone to Mallorca.

    6 weeks and a cumulative 31min pb, mission accomplished. For me it was better to focus on the process with good execution and the outcome will look after itself. Chasing xyz times in Ironman can end badly.
