    Yep for the Athena division... it was hot on the run. I saw a lot of people with flats on the bike. The roads were pretty rough in spots. It made me glad I was on my steel bike and running slime tubes.

    Good Job V!!- I have been enjoying following your progress- I am impressed that you were able to persevere throught that heat! I definitely would rather run in the rain than 97F!!
    Enjoy a bit of time off training now

    Hey! I read your RR and saw the pictures when you posted it up! Just didn't post a response here in the thread.

    You did a great job out there! All the training paid off and you had a solid day of it!

    Your times were awesome too! You are a natural!

    Congratulations!
