Rockford 70.3

 This may have been my last IM race. Still not sure, but I don't know what next year will look like and I don't want to commit to another one right now. Yesterday's race was a tough one!  Thankfully Diana and Mik drove out to watch and caught part of the bike and the run. I was so out of it at the end of the run, I past right by the turn off to the finish. Mik saved me by running me down a few block into an extra lap.  I had to run back against traffic, but finished!  It was in the upper 90s with a heat index of 110 degrees!  I'm toast today. 




 Followed my coach, Liz's advice and swam in the middle of the river, hugging the buoys. This paid off: good swim time, 35 min! Somehow still won my age group too. Difficult but kind of  a fun day (I guess)! Will I miss this if this was the last one?  I think so.
