Strong head-wind on the way back towards transition. That made for a LONG second half of the ride!

Comments:

When I got off my bike, there was a deep soreness in my upper hammy / lower glute. I nearly collapsed at one point. I almost threw in the towel in T2. But I figured I'd just start moving on the run and see what would happen...

Comments:

Started off SLOW. I wasn't sure my hammy would hold up. But I kept upping the pace, and soon I realized I'd have a 70.3 run PR and possibly a 70.3 overall PR as well!
