Holy chop Batman--the lake was angry that day! 20 + mph winds made the swim pretty difficult! They almost cancelled it due to the conditions, but did not. I was thankful that I'm so comfortable in the water--a lot of panicking going on...not me! I did the Dory and just kept swimming, just kept swimming! The whole time I kept thinking 'this is so darn fun!' My time was slowwww...but I was battling the elements!

Nothing! I swam the best I could in those darn waves!

My darn wrists got caught in my wetsuit when I tried to pull my arms out! I could not pull the darn thing off--I was stuck with no hands! It was very frustrating, but finally used my teeth to pull! Slow transition!

Not pull both arms at the same time.

Wow...the wind made the bike leg really tough as well. We headed out into the wind, uphill. I think I maxed out at 13 mph--it was really hard! I handled the hills with no problem--felt like a badass passing people on the uphills! On the way back I did hit 25-26 mph--total blast. Just like in the swim I kept thinking 'this is so darn fun!' even with the darn wind making the race really tough.

Nothing, happy with my effort in the wind.

A little faster than T1 but still pretty slow!

Move faster

Very happy with my run. Felt wobbly at first but got going pretty good (for me!) Again, kept thinking 'this is so darn fun!' I loved it.

Maybe pushed a bit harder the second half.

Laid in the grass until my family found me!


The wind...my ability to perform any faster! :-)


Although the wind REALLY sucked, I'd definitely do it again to improve my time!!!
