After waking up at 4:45 a.m. to swim a mile in the Hudson, bike 24 miles up and down Manhattan's west side, and run 6.2 miles throughout the city streets and Central Park, we're through. Phew! It was a great day all around---finishing without any catastrophes was the goal, so crossing that line and collecting our medals was an amazing feeling. And it was especially exciting to see Bec, the "Pride of Manhattan," stand up on the podium for her phenomenal third place performance! Then, she and John turned around and served up a delicious BBQ for about ten fellow triathletes. We just got back and are now officially retiring for the evening--but not from triathlons. I'm already looking for the next one to sign up for (little does Mark know...).
Thanks to Leezie, the 'rents, Karl, and Patty for showing up to cheer! It was great to have your support out on the course.
