Swimming and cycling were almost foreign sports to me, so my biggest worry was the cut off times. I came out of the swim feeling fresh, but the intensity ramped up on the bike. Pushing hard through the mountains behind Nice in 30 degree midday heat, it felt endless. By the time I started the marathon my legs were drained, and a less than perfect fuelling plan made the run entirely mind over matter. But I finished.
