"It's true that today was very frustrating," Sanders said in the video. “It was probably the best preparation for an IRONMAN that I have done, the most consistent. No overtraining, just really good quality, I even practiced nutrition.
Now it seems that I am struggling with the fourth discipline, nutrition, and I have no answers, for what happened today."
“I got really weak around six and a half hours and started losing muscle function, started cramping and honestly spent the last five miles really wondering if I was going to finish because I was having trouble walking and having trouble holding my own. Body.
"That's something I'm going to keep thinking about and it's really very frustrating when you dedicate your life to something," he said. "I can't even be mad at myself, because I did a really good job and I failed."
“A lot of people were asking if I was okay, and I'm okay, just a little defeated and frustrated.".
