I'll be looking for you and your sister, Jess!
AP, I looked for you but I was in too much of a stupor to notice much. The swim and the bike went great for me, but the run was terrible. My choices were to run/walk or quit. Seriously, I couldn't run more than 40-80 steps at a time without a walk break. I chose the former and was able to squeak in under 6. For whatever reason my head just started swimming and getting fuzzy around mile 3 of the run. I drank at each aide station, but CLEARLY I need to figure out some nutritional details. I probably could have used some gu, but the thought of sweet just turned my stomach and I couldn't bring myself to take another Cliffshot. My legs actually felt pretty good...it was my dang head. I'm still really happy about the race, though.
Hope to see you all tomorrow. My son came for the end of the tri today and I think he's really excited to give it a go. It's gonna be a hoot to race with him!
