JAN FRODENO (CHAMPION)<\/p>\n
On\u2026 being the Iron record holder<\/strong><\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n I\u2019m feeling sore and it\u2019s hard coming down from the high of finishing. I\u2019ve never experienced anything like it, and it was hard not to overpace actually on Solarberg. I\u2019m glad my ears are still intact from the crowd noise and I\u2019ve done this bucket list race. To break a world record you need to race big or go home.<\/p>\n On\u2026 battles<\/strong><\/p>\n My inner voice told me to slow down and I think I actually went too slow on the first lap. I even crashed on the second lap but still did it faster than the first. Although I\u2019m not sure now if I can have a second child! I played with my limits a few times especially on the marathon, and I had a few darker moments but I kept my poker face on.<\/p>\n On\u2026 pain<\/strong><\/p>\n Man, I was in pain but this being my fastest marathon by a long time meant I was in even more pain. There was so much relief to finally stop and when I read the time i was so happy for it. It\u2019s a mixture of disbelief and being content.\u00a0<\/p>\n On\u2026 the speed of Roth<\/strong><\/p>\n On the first lap I was upset that I actually touched my brakes once. It\u2019s been said a lot but the atmosphere here is so unique and how Roth lives and breathes this race is why the age-groupers and elite athletes count it as a favourite. You can\u2019t buy history like this.<\/p>\n On\u2026 retirement<\/strong><\/p>\n I wouldn\u2019t know how else I\u2019d make a living. I\u2019m not sure if I\u2019d come back next year or when I\u2019ve officially retired so I can enjoy it more.<\/p>\n JOE SKIPPER (2ND MALE)<\/p>\n On\u2026 breaking the British Iron record<\/strong><\/p>\n That was my goal to come here and do that. And to get on the podium is a dream with the field we had here so I\u2019m over the moon. I had a tough swim and I felt like someone was trying to drown me! I did 52mins when I wanted 50mins. I also wanted 4:15hrs on the bike but was again a little slow.\u00a0<\/p>\n
