Door County Half Ironman

It was really a great day for a race.  Although I can’t personally vouch for the weather in previous years, the rumor mill has it that it was miserable.  So, I was glad when the forecast called for cool and cloudy skies.  Of course, it didn’t say anything about rain, and so, there I stood, waiting to start the swim, while my bike, socks, shoes, other socks, and everything else got wet in the rain.  Oh well.  It happens.

Overall it was a great race.  I was feeling great until about mile 10 when I started to get hot.  It was only 72 degrees.  I need to do something about this inability to run in the heat, or I’m going to be in trouble.

I finished in 6:15 which was right about where I expected.  Of course, it would have been nice to go faster, but hey, I finished in one piece, and was none the worse for wear.  I call that a win.
