Andy told us a few days on: "My
legs are getting better but definitely still have an nice ache to them! I
completed it in a total of 12 hours 9 minutes (Swim - 1:06:13, Bike - 6:34:50,
Run - 4:18:32, transition 1 - 5:37 and transition 2 - 4:17) which I was
delighted with. I would say it was the best and worst thing I've done! I
was feeling good on the swim and bike but started to suffer when it came to the
run, the run course was 4 laps of the centre of Maastricht including a large
hill that I had to face on each one so it was mentally quite tough. I'm
happy to say that I made it though and heard the words I'd been waiting for - 'Andrew Taylor you are an Ironman!'
I
was thinking never again after I finished but now the aches and painful
memories are subsiding I am starting to look towards next years challenge!"
What an incredible achievement - thank you again Andy.
