Got up around 530, had a quick breakfast, left two unhappy kids that had woken up to early and biked down to nokomis. So great to have a race right in our backyard!

Comments:

Swim has always been my weakest event. Some things don't change. I started strong but definitely tapered for the last 100 or 200. My goggles are tinted which is usually nice but it was super overcast and my wave all wore orange swim caps which made finding the orange swim bouys difficult!

My fast bike caught up to me here. The legs felt like big heavy bricks at the beginning. Tried to relax my shoulders and push it. I had battled during the bike with one woman from my AG. We kept passing each other, getting passed and then passing again. We started near each other on the run but she took off about a mile in. Just didn't have it in me. She had three kids. This race is so inspirational. So many women out there, moms, grand moms, etc that are cariving out time in their busy schedules to stay fit and strong.i
