Ironman Western Australia 2008
(Australia, M PRO, 08:32:22)
I must admit that the swim in Busselton is one of the nicest swims I've ever done just because the water is so clear and you can see everything. As we got closer to the turn around at the end of the pier I started to get this tight feeling around my throat which got a whole lot worse when I started to think about it.		Heading into the race I was going to be happy if I came in under 9hours and as a more ambitious goal I had 8.50 in the back of my mind so when I saw 8.32 on the clock at the finish line I couldn't believe my eyes.

I actually saw a couple of stingrays and snappers (almost like diving) going towards the turnaround point.		Different from the bike where we try to keep oursleves warm the run was to keep ourselves cool.
