Great job, Alex! Awesome report and awesome job out there!
I do camp on bike tours but don't think I could do it before a tri or a race--too many nerves and too many noises. I can't believe your dog slept through all that. Mine would've been barking and growling at every noise.
DH sounds so supportive and I really like the bike. Love the pink tires and handlebar tape--especially that you have it wrapped in pink AND white on the aero bars. Pretty cool. It really sets it off.

Congrats on your race!!! Way to go! And the Lynskey... Oh. My. Goodness.
Beautiful!
I have camped out before races. I don't usually sleep very well when camping, but it never affects my race. Have done it about a half dozen times. Sometimes being close to the race venue and not having to fork over $100 for a hotel is worth it to me.

Never sleep well camping...never sleep well the night before a race- so that would be a double whammy!
Brilliant results -despite stomach issues. Way to go! It's interesting what people eat prior to a race.
I Looove the colour of your bike!
