The Ironman 70.3 Buffalo Springs Lake Triathlon is in the can! Lightening, wind, rain and hail all threatened to cancel this race, but Mother Nature didn't win. The race continued as did most of the athletes! The bike ride was a lesson in patience, acceptance and humility because of the deteriorating conditions throughout the course, but we came through!
My swim was a new PR and my run was right where I hoped I could be on such a difficult course! I'm a happy and incredibly sore triathlete because we drove the 6.5 hours back to Austin yesterday after the race. Can you say, "muscle atrophy?"
Shawn also had a monster PR day so I'll be posting tidbits and photos soon!

Sounds like some challenging conditions but you both pulled off great times. Good job!
Congrats to both of you!!!! Nicely done! Can't wait to hear about the follow up with Jorge.
You both had phenomenal transition times, too. The changing-tent naps are history! And an 8:06 pace for the half after a brutal swim? Damn!
congrats to you and shawn...
awesome...
of course, you have to credit jorge....
don't you././
you probably need him right now..
I know I could use massage now after a half...
look forward to your entertaining spin on the 70.3
Congratulations to you both on stunning fantastic times and finishing in the conditions. I heard it was just crazy weather. Then you drove back you crazy kids.
