My first Ironman triathlon distance. Challenge Copenhagen!!

Decided to embrace tough training for full Ironman distance triathlon by February 2011 and asked the help from Vinnie Santana (ex-pro triathlete living in Bangkok) to coach me in this adventure, after first meeting with him it was clear that my training plan would be focused intensively on my bike, since I was coming from running background

Spent long hours on the bike, Saturdays and Sundays in the heat on Bangkok, sometimes alone but most of the times with Stephen and Michael (very strong bikers) on Saturdays and with the the GOPT group on Sundays, it was tough but payed back since had good performance at the 300km bike race by mid o June in  Sweden and also ok feelings in Copenhagen

There would be a lot to say about the pain and and toughness from the marathon, specially from 20km on wards but  at this distance I'm just happy to have done it and overall have positive feeling to have accomplished one of the toughest one day sport events on hearth

Finished with 11hour 15 minutes, which was pretty good given the very long and painful marathon performance
