A Hotter 'N Hell Adventure

[Tri Girl]

Saturday my DH and I did our first HHH. Not our first centuries by any means, but our first with over 14,000 people.
It was a great/scary/exciting experience. LOTS of riders- some experienced, some not, some just like me. It was a little too crowded at times, but the experience is something to behold for sure!
I did the 100K, DH did the 100 miles. My biggest reason for doing the 100K? I wanted to get back before the expo closed so I could snag some awesome clearance prices on jerseys and other cycling goodies (which I did- SCORE). If I'd done the 100 miles I would've been cutting it too close.
I have my reasons... even if they do involve finishing early enough to go shopping

Here's a link to my blog that has pictures and a more detailed story if you care to read it.

Let's hear about your HHH adventure stories!

Ok- one picture. Me on Sheppard AFB riding through the area where they had all the old planes on display. Some very impressive machinery. I had to get a picture with the angry fighter jet (I wish I knew it's story). We're both grinning, but for different reasons (man- that's a really close shot of my face ).
