My goal time was 13:06 and I didn’t think that was achievable… yet I finished my first Ironman in under 12 hours” - “I wasn't sure about hitting 7:10 min/mile half way so I didn't force myself to slow down in the beginning and just went to the flow. Am so happy. This was an unexpected finish. I honestly didn’t believe I could” - “Not a chance, I didn’t even know I was capable of qualifying when I was healthy. Just surprised myself.”
