Stellar job Juan! You're totally right about bricks and Fartleks helping your transition. If this Oly, despite the difficulty, provided your with a lot of satisfaction - I hope it is the first of many. If not - there are other races to do.

Either way - enjoy a nice bottle of wine! You've earned it!

The boat was being tossed around. Someone noted that there were whitecaps on the waves. Another guy said, “This is going to be challenging.” I began to wonder what he meant by 'challenging'.
