Mixed Memories & Fleeting Redemption...

LIBERTY RACE REPORT - Liberty 70.3 was a race I wanted to come back and "redeem" myself. I have a lot of memories good and not so good here and although I've done well here before, I thought I could do better. Unfortunately with strong winds and HOT temps, this was not the day for that. Swim was rough, choppy water made for a butt kicker. Winds on the bike proved to kick my butt even more as I struggled to find any speed at the beginning. It didn't help I didn't pay attention to winds and rode with my front HED Jet 9 wheel

I appreciate all the support from friends and as always my mom on the course, and grateful for all the post race camaraderie! Thanks Jennifer Harrison Triathlon Coaching (JHC) for always preparing me to get through tough conditions and to motivate me for my next 70.3! (Which is huge because I said I'm done with 70.3 races while out on that course Saturday).
