Chmou is never going to give up

Ironman Hamburg - July 8th, 2017

Race reporter Chmou DNF! I did not finish the Ironman Frankfurt, something I was so looking to do for the last year, something I had so much invested and there I am not finishing it. I was very much hopeful before the race. I traveled to Frankfurt a little bit earlier on Thursday to Friday and hanged out with my ExpaTRIés Triathlon Club-mate David to pick up the bibs and do some carbs loading. It was going to be a wet suit allowed race, I had a fantastic support crew who was here with me and it was going to be sunny (I do like the heat!). I knew I had some injury on my right foot (plantar fasciitis by the side arch) that going to make it difficult for the run but testing it the week before seemed to have somewhat healed.
