Ok, so I  got up, with the team and headed down to the start. Haz hit the water and it was a choppy swim. So we waited and waited, then out of nowhere haz appears!! Yeah! Then Leah the Hammer drops it in R for race and heads out the gates flying on her bike! I head back and try to sleep. Not happening so out to subway for a sub. Figured that we were going in for 2ish then, the text from hell comes it! ITS FLAT ON RICHTER! Haz and I are freaking out cause the DOC must be fucking laying down the fastest bike I have seen...were texting back your amazing and holy crap your fast...then she clears it up  with...I GOT A FLAT!!!
