If it's any consolation everybody was really suffering in the heat. I was at the finish line cheering for a while and all but one or two people looked really glad to be done. Sounds like you did ok despite the heat. I had serious race envy and I'll be there next year to compete.

Hey, that looks like a pretty good race!  Looks like a good swim, not bad at all on the bike considering a mountain bike and a very good run in that heat.  Great job!

Well done, and congratulations.

Nice job fighting through that heat! It was definitely cooking by about 9:30. You still managed a strong run despite it all...Nice work.
