What a great report!! I'm glad I'm not the only one who talks out loud to get inspiration! How cool that your dad was "there" for you.

Awesome race report!
It's nice to hear that you came out of the water feeling good. That is what matters on the swim portion... come out of the water not feeling fatigued.
The bike sounds like it was a challenge! Way to talk your way through it. Headwind can really defeat a person.
The run sounds like it was hard too. I also have a bad habit of pushing too hard on the bike, only to pay for it with side cramps on the run. I am all about running when people can SEE me though! HA!
Finally... WOW on placing 3rd in your age group! Too cool! I bet those medals are great... and your neice has a great story to brag to her friends about."Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather, to skid in broadside thoroughly used-up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming: WOW WHAT A RIDE!!!!"
