Tell us about your race (limit 500 words)…: I have never been so nervous for a race! The swim was very difficult with a strong current for the majority of it. I also overshot the finish and had to swim back upstream. The bike course was fast and I probably went too hard trying to make up time lost on the swim. I had side cramps on the run for the first 2 miles and just tried to put one foot in front of the other. It wasn’t my best day but it was a lot of fun competing against top athletes. Congrats to Lisa, Michelle, Kris and Sam for placing top in their age groups!
