I'm sorry this race had so many challenging obstacles between flats & the heat. But, like the other ladies have said YOU MADE IT & toughed it out when a lot of other ppl. wouldn't have or didn't. Kudos to your determination, that is awesome!!

As far as not doing another 70.3 or ever considering a 140.6 unless you've tried it's hard to know what your distance preference is. Now you know where your strengths/preferences are and can build off of that, which is great.

Have a happy recovery, take care of yourself!
