K- I'm sorry I didn't get to spend more time with you, but it always seems to happen like that on race week. Too much going on.
Yeah I'm not broken up in the least bit about my dnf. If it hadn't been windy it would have been fun to roll through the heat, but it was more than I cared to deal with.
One thing I know for sure now... I will NEVER do Kona! I just don't like the wind. So I have dep admiration for those that can get through it.
Sorry to hear about your cousin. I know all about puking. Did it last year. It's NOT fun.

MM- I'm actually going to cda in 09 to spectate. I don't think I can handle the cold lake or the hills on the bike course. I think maybe I need to see it first before I'm ready to pull the plug. But before IMAZ was around that was the race I was going to do.
