  • Comments: I think this is a beautiful course. It was a warm day, but I felt like I was doing all of the right things..I was eating, taking in salt, drinking plenty of water...I took the meds I was supposed to if this happened to prevent further issues..and although it got a little better - it needed another hour or so - and I just didn't have that much time. The kicker is - I think according to the swim cutoffs and everything, I had TECHNICALLY until 6:30pm or so to finish the bike. Even w/ my stopping I think I might have been able to finish - but..if you can't see..you can't ride..and here we are again. Several months of training w/ no issues - and another..non-finish. I'm extremely disappointed. Not in my effort. I worked hard for this and honestly felt BETTER trained than AZ. So, I will call my dr..and I will work with him to figure this out!

  • Comments: This season has been a little tough with injuries to my feet. There was some doubt about finishing it but I feel like I did as well as I could. I would have liked to come in around 14-15 hours but I will need to either do a different race or get a little stronger in the saddle. It was great to hear encouragement from Felix and Leslie during the race. The finish was incredible and the only thing I wanted to do was complete the race.

  • Comments: Great race. I'm from KY so I'm used to the heat and humidity, but it can be a shocker for some folks. I'm glad it was hot and nasty that day. I was ready for it and I just wanted to conquer the course at its hardest.
