$1500 bill from IM Texas medical support arrived in the mail today.
My wife dropped out at mile 100 after fighting against the wind for 20 miles - wasn't her day and probably didn't take fluids trying to control the bike in the wind. A bike support vehicle picked her up and dropped her by the ambulance and told her he would take her bike to transition after he was done and the ambulance could get her to the medical tent to check her out. They did, she got a bag of fluid and all was good.
I must be naive, but I thought the support on the course and the medical tent was part of the race fee. I guess not.
