What a great race! I really liked this distance. The training is very manageable, the race is long enough to make getting up at the crack of dawn worth it but short enough that it does not take over your life to train for it. I will be doing this distance again, for sure!
Dallas Athletes puts on a great race, and they did not disappoint. The venue was beautiful Lake Ray Roberts (my home stomping grounds!), support was excellent, and the weather cooperated, which is always a huge plus in the spring!
Pete surprised me by showing up unexpectedly. He was scheduled to teach a class so he was not going to be able to make it, but he got up super early and drove out just to wish me luck. He was able to see me finish the bike and start the run. That meant so much to me, thank you, Pete!
A breath-taking Texas sun rise to start the race off right

40 mile bike
9 mile run
Ahhh...the painfully wonderful post race massage.
I was able to take home 1st in my age group, 5th overall female. A good day, indeed!
