glad you put in the link - sounds like this race was a mess!!
All in all - you had fair attitude especially the moments when you just said oh, well.
Great job sticking with it AND managing a new PR
Talk about lemonade from lemons...

I've read everyone's reports who raced in Galveston this weekend. What a fiasco! Those race organizers need to find a new job!

Congratulations on such an early season half IM - incredible! And a PR too! Great job and I'm sure this is just foreshadowing for a great tri season this year.
