What Happened.

Posted on 09:10 by omprakash
First, let me thank everyone who emailed and FBed before the race wishing me well. I appreciate it more than you know. I don't have much by way of explanation as I am still collecting my thoughts on the matter but i can say a few things.

It became very obvious to me late in the day on Saturday that despite good physical preparation, my mind was struggling with the idea of going through the pain of doing another Ironman race. I had moments of mild panic and a fear of destroying myself mentally in such a way that I may not be able to race again, at least anytime soon. This is about all I can say right now, i simply couldn't put myself through it again yesterday and I need some time to recover if i want to have a good season in 2010.

My only regret is that I didn't realize sooner.

Time for some offseason, unstructured fun!
S.
