Just when my fingers touched sand...I got up and ran as fast as possible to the Swim Exit Arch...at the same time...removing googles, swimming cap and wax ear-plugs and put them inisde the cap...

Comments:  By the time of the run...the temps were in between 90o and 95o...the sun was burning...OMG...It was a very hot run... Just out of Transition running not too fast and not too slow...with a constante pace...put my belt with Bid# and hat...drank some water...and...tossed some over my head and neck... It was not my best run here in this Course...the heat really hit me...If you check careful the pics...my face was already red like a tomatoe...I felt like I was running in slow motion...but...I try to do my best and kept it up...even the brutal heat....Ufffff...!!!     And here some pics taken for Chewie Louis or Louis Blanco (RWTF)...    And here more pics taken for other tri-friend...approching to the Finish Line...   At the mile 2.50 I decided to sprint till the Finish Line....I only wanted to finish...Yikes...!!!  What would you do differently?: Continue with my trainings.... Post race
Warm down: Just when I passed the Finish Line...a volunteer gave to me a bottle of water and other one removed my timing chip from my left ankle...and...went directly to the Kid Water Fun Area...the favorite place of the triathletes to refresh....Nice...!!!
