    Knowing the commitment it takes, the resolve you must have to train and just how hard it is to break through pain barriers to finish makes this all the more fantastic. So proud of my Son. Inspired me to run one with him next year. @Mark and @Alex thank you for making the race day such and amazing day. We wouldn’t have been able to get around and know where to observe Quinn’s progress without you. An emotional day. Thanks to all the team at GTN for sharing Quinns inspirational journey. Go challenge yourselves, get out of the comfort zone and see what impact this could have on your lives.

    I am about to compete in my first ever triathlon this weekend so I have been watching a tons of GTN to make sure I don't make any big mistakes. It's always been my goal to do an iron man one day, but the goal seemed too big to reach. After watching Quinn's journey and then the race I feel so inspired to take on that goal. Thanks for the pick-me-up and the push in the right direction.

    Great work, Quinn!!! Very inspiring!
    The evolution of how you feel on the bike is so typical. First bit: it feels so wonderful to be on the bike! It's so beautiful! Mid-way: starting to get a bit stiff. Three-quarters: I'm tired. End bit: I will do anything to get off this &%*@ bike!! Even run a marathon!!

    Congratulations to Quinn, amazing effort. Fantastic reflection of what it is like as an age grouper not at the pointy end of a race. I wonder if Quinn thinks he went too hard on the bike? I then suffered on the run.

    • @trepidati0n533
      @trepidati0n533 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      He may have done both the swim and the bike too hard. A 1:09 swim is not slow by any means. A 5:30 bike is not slow by any means. But a 5:30 run after that is SLOW relatively speaking. With those two previous paces it should have been a 4:00-4:30 run. If he would have gave up 5 min on the swim and maybe 30 minutes on the bike it could have easily turned into a 1 hour savings on the run yielding a net positive.
      The run is often blamed for a slow time but it rarely is.
