Should have jumped in the lake but didn't. Rubbed right contact lens behind my eye, had to fish it out.

Speed on the run, and bad swim!!!

Newington Bike had door prizes to kill for!!! Aero bars, tires, accessories, wine - tons of it!! Way better than any Ironman event ever!!!

Did the Timberman HIM on Sunday, I was surprised to be able to do this Olympic on Sunday.
