Congrats, looks like you had a pretty good day.

You sound like my daughter on the swim. We have a small local YMCA Tri, & she doesn't know if she wants to do it cause it's not an OWS.

Down tube shifters are classic! (okay, to look at, but maybe not to use ...)

Great run pace to finish it strong.

I agree that the OWS was fun in a way, but seemed awfully cold. I've just got to get a bit used to the crowd and cold and settle down next time.

What's wrong with those down tube shifters?. Someday - a new bike. . . not just shifters.

Great run.

What are the odds of your doing the September adventure race on your chart (the one in Omaha)?
