Then it was off for a 13.1 mile stroll on the beach...




Was a bit slower this year than last, but a good race none the less. The swim was warmer this year (60 vs. last years 53 degrees), the waves a bit smaller but there was a current from hell that slowed most down by a few minutes. The bike went great. The wind was kicking hard but I passed a ton of people coming off the bike first in my agegroup. The wind had its revenge in the end though. The extra toll it took on my legs on the bike came back to bite me on the run. I was 10 minutes slower than last year but hung on for 5th in my agegroup. The legs just didn't want to cooperate on the run...and the sand didn't help. Still had a great time!
