You know, why have I put myself in that position?

You know, and it felt risky and dangerous.

And then coming back to the tier, we had a nightmare on the bikes in Cape Town as well.

Huge headwind, 70 kilometer an hour.

It's the worst.

Yeah, yeah.

It's awful.

Yeah, yeah.

I would rather cycle in very heavy rain than any kind of headwind.

Headwind is just... The flip side is that ordinarily you get a tailwind because you go one way then the other.

But we had about 140 kilometers into a headwind.

We were on the bike for nine hours and 45 minutes.

You know, it's just a long old ride.

And then you've got the marathon to run.

So about halfway through the marathon when I knew that we'd get round and I knew we'd get round in time, I had an 18-hour cutoff for these races to count.

The normal cutoff for an Ironman is 17 hours.

They gave us an extra hour because we have traffic lights and hills and stuff to contend with that you probably wouldn't have in a normal race.

And no, I shed a tear then.

Johnny saw me.

Wait, wait.
