Looks like that sunscreen didn't work out for you!!  If I might suggest a spray on.  I know the skin gurus don't like spray on because they think you will miss a spot but I DEFINATELY will miss  spot with lotion.  I mean I am pretty flexible but REALLY?  I like bullfrog,....its not all perfumey it lasts forever (and I am very fair) and doesn't sting as much as most others if you sweat a lot and it gets in your eyes. 

Anyway way to PR the bike!!!  I hope you had fun

It was the morning of Ironman Newfoundland 70.3, I felt queasy. I didn't want to eat or drink anything. I had a full blown case of the pre-race HEEBEE GEEBEES.
