Post race
Warm down:

Momma and my daughter Ruth came to see me race for the first time and wound up volunteering, helping out. Not surprised, they love helping folks.

Event comments:

Staci Brode is an extremely hard working race director. This is the second race I did with her this year where weather was / could have been a factor. She is fearless, nothing fazes her -- she just charges straight ahead. Awesome.

Ava Wilk 8 years old did her first triathlon. Great memories...

Chris Phelan did a great job on the microphone keeping things interesting.
