Pre-race routine:

Tune-up B/C race for IM WI so wasn't gonna dig deep for this one. The bike was epic. Heavy rain, incredible winds, crosswinds downright dangerous, headwinds made for one of the hardest things I've ever done. I don't know how he does it, but local pro David Thompson pulled off a 3:58:17 - that's another freakin' universe.

Jeebus Birk you're fast. I think the results are all effed up. I was looking up other people's times and noticed you weren't in the award winners category but see that you indeed took 2nd in your AG. Great work out there!

Awesome job, especially in those conditions!

And I know the swim ain't your thing, but that looks like some decent improvement for you there if I'm not mistaken.  Lookin' good heading into another shot at Moo!

EPIC is an adequate descriptor of bike.  I went from racing mode to survival mode real quick.  Very nice times you put up for a tuneup race.  Good luck at IMMOO

Congratulations!  That is a pretty darn great race considering the conditions on the bike.  Very nice swim for you, too.   And, not to mention throwing down a 1:32 run w/o digging deep.  Things are looking good for MOO!
