If only ..
If only the water wasn't so cold ..
the rain so hard ..
the drafting that everyone else was doing ..
having had six flats ..
losing all my nutrition ..
barely being able to get the finish line standing ..
and,
not to mention the competition,

Chrissie - another Mdot, another win
Chrissie Wellington put to rest any questions about the challenge of changing coaches and bike sponsors with a dominating performance at Port Macquarie.
The Brit crossed the line in 8:57 for her second consecutive M-Dot Australia.
Her splits:
swim 50:48
bike 5:03
run 2:59
She was 11th overall and less than a minute behind reaching the top 10.
The victory keeps her streak of Ironman race wins intact. She has won every Ironman she's entered in the last three seasons.
***
In reviewing the field, the start line was not very deep. Michellie Jones dropped out ahead of the start due to illness.
That left Rebekah Keat as the one experienced athlete to race against Chrissie. Yet Rebekah trailed Chrissie after the swim and was further behind after the bike, and Chrissie ran away from the Aussie during the marathon.
Chrissie had a margin of victory of almost half an hour.

Singapore - Sunday
From ironmanlive:
In the women’s race it’s no different as Australia's Rebekah Keat, the defending champion, doesn't have an easy road to victory in the women's race. The 2009 Aviva Ironman 70.3 will see Keat mix it up with Yvonne van Vlerken, holder of the fastest time ever for an Ironman distance race, back in Singapore and looking for a win.
And the two top seeds will be watching the challengers very closely, especially third seed, Kate Major, the Aussie who has three times finished third in Kona, Lucie Zelenkova who just weeks ago won Ironman 70.3 South Africa and Tereza Macel, who has won Ironman Korea.
Then there are two Olympians in New Zealand’s Andrea Hewitt and Great Britain’s Jodie Swallow and a trio of new faces who have also cut into the top ten placings in recent Ironman events, including Joceslyn Wong (top ten in Ironman China) and Erin Ohara, top ten in Ironman Malaysia. And watch out for newcomer LC Lingat from the Philippines who could lead the women from the water!
