BT IM Lake Placid watching thread! (Page 14)

It started raining before the swim and hasn't stopped since.  Some of you know I have issues riding in the rain (it's how I hurt my shoulder 5 weeks ago) and riding downhills in the rain.  This was not my day today.  I DNF'd at mile 70- I had major, major issues on the big scary downhill to Keene the first time, when lots were passing by me.  I knew before the end of the first loop that I was't making the bike cutoff this year, but wanted to make it to Keene again.  I wound up being last and had to walk my bike down half the second downhill segment and the entire 3rd segment (there are three main parts of it).  I knew I was dropping out in Keene- I wasn't making the cutoff and I wasn't staying out in the rain in those conditions.  I was the last "cyclist" and had a state trooper following me.  I only staying in until then as I had to get there on my own power- it was something I had to do as I wasn't letting it beat me. 

Lots have dropped out- lots were in the medical tent.  Miserable day today.  Epic day.

come on Jess come on Jess!

i'm concerned that I haven't seen a run split from her tracking yet on IM.com. I hope it's just a delayed post thing. She's had a great race thus far (based on her times).... and running is her original background and strength. I just threw up a quick prayer for her.

Jess is a BT mentor group fellow-member....one of Betsy's tri-bamf's! and yup..

it stands for bad @ss M...... F....
