Mit einigem Abstand beschreibt Caroline Steffen nun, was zu ihrem unbefriedigenden Ergebnis auf Hawaii beigetragen hat:

Zitat von Caroline Steffen

"Xena you're looking lean" ... No wonder, I just spend the last 10 days with blending my food and having it through a straw. Waking up each midnight with severe stomach cramps is not the ideal way to get yourself ready for a big one like IM Hawaii.

Ill in january, food poisoning in february, chest infection in may, injured after crash in Cebu august, sad breakup with longtime partner David and food poisoning again 2 weeks out from Kona. Low immune system, emotional unstable and bad luck dominated my year so fare. Not a position I have been in before.

11 days ahead of the most import race of the year I was physically and mentally on a breaking point and very close to give up on everything.

Unter diesen Umständen erscheint mir ihr Top-Ten-Platz als bemerkenswerter Erfolg.
