I would have been kind of bummed just because I would have been psyched up for the swim. <br /><br />All in all sounds like the safety of the competitors was at hand and the right call was made. <br /><br />Great job! The wind is brutal as I am finding out lately. Can really crush your performance.<br /><br />Keep it up Jeff, you are putting in some great times!!!Matty Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13447270565189789394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4117508586192062017.post-49596188367725960132010-04-26T17:49:52.626-05:002010-04-26T17:49:52.626-05:00Congrats on your race!

With thunderstorms coming, the team chosed 50 mile route and 5 mins into the drive home, it downpoured, sounds like me made the right decision.Big Daddy Dieselhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07868041775049514011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4117508586192062017.post-31645304665468617952010-04-26T10:16:01.525-05:002010-04-26T10:16:01.525-05:00Jeff-

It was bad yesterday while i was biking so i can imagine the wind you guys had in Galveston. <br />So sorry you didn't get to swim. I know you really have been putting in the time for it too. Considering the wind, you had a very good bike time and the run was good too. Chalk it up as a hard training brick. Can't wait to see the pics you got at the 70.3.<br />Loved you idea about the Litespeed Archon frame giveaway! I'd have thousands of followers if i did that....not sure my husband would think that's as awesome as i think it is.KC (my 140 point 6 mile journey)https://www.blogger.com/profile/05183039121953689933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4117508586192062017.post-72700526700451788582010-04-26T03:04:10.948-05:002010-04-26T03:04:10.948-05:00That was too bad about the swim.

Nice speed average despite the killer headwinds and I am jealous of your 10K. Man that is a great time!Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03748250987644502052noreply@blogger.com
