Post Race Quickie
Well, I think I finally got all the icicles out of all the crevices in my body. IMWI just won’t give people a break. The previous three years in a row, they course sported 90+ degree temperatures and today we get 50s and rain. The warmest part of the day was the swim and the rest of the day was just very cold and very wet.
In any case, I’ll post a full race report in the next day or so. I’m entirely too exhausted to make my brain work that hard right now. Thanks to everyone for their kind comments on my last post and for all the well wishes. I am very appreciative of each and every one!
A BIG thanks to all the volunteers who stood out in those conditions to make the race possible for those of us competing. I know first hand how miserable it was out there, but yet you guys all showed up and made the race a huge success. These races are all about the volunteers and just wouldn’t be able to happen without them.
To all the athletes that braved the course today, congratulations for toeing the line and taking on the challenge. Regardless of the result, I know that the experiences that you gained during training and in the race will be life changing. You’ll probably never look at the world quite the same way again.
Signing off… (I can’t believe I’m still up!)
