The race has come to an end and we had a wonderful time! Race day started out with a few jitters as I didn't sleep much the night before, just tossing and turning in anticipation of the early morning. The morning went by before I knew it and all of a sudden I was in the water getting ready for the gun to go off. The swim ended up being 300 m longer than planned yet it wasn't the worst part of the race. The bike was one of the best courses ever as it was right in the heart of downtown Austin. But then came the run...my legs felt like jello and it was in the 90's! Ever water stop people were pouring water on their heads or running through the shower and water gun area to cool down. The past 2 years we have done the triathlons the bike and run have always been the hardest. This year I give the award to the run. I kept reminding myself why I tri to get me through and it was my main motivation that made crossing the finish line feel amazing. Thanks to all of the supporters who came out to cheer us on, I'm not sure what we would have done without you. Although it was extremely hot and the race course was longer than planned...it was an amazing day!
