Man, it sounded like you had a great race although the run sounded painful. You had me cracking up with all the "stops." Way to go on this HIM! That's just awesome. I'll be doing my first HIM this summer, but I'll be reading all about your tris.

That just sucks. I can tell you now that I cannot stomach gatorade AT ALL! It does to me basically what happened to you. It is just too sweet for my system to handle. So, considering you hadn't trained with it, I would guess that was the culprit.<br />That aside...you did awesome!

Mandy had a great comment. Curious how much of the gatorade and combining everything ended up nailing you.<br /><br />Keep up the good work, this is why you did a 70.3 race tune up.
