Congrats, Jen (and son, too ). How cool that you both raced together? Pretty neat to have a training partner so enthusiastic about it (kids are so great). Congrats on placing, too! 3rd is very impressive!!!! You should be very proud! Sounds like you had a very solid race, even with the cramping on the run. It's to hard to figure those things out sometimes- was it dehydration/overhydration/electrolyte depletion/pushing too hard on the bike?? Too many factors to consider. Hopefully you can figure it out for the next one. Cramping on the run is no fun for sure...

Congrats again on a great race!!! It's always good to get that first one out of the way.
