D to the N to the F

So, last weekend I participated in my first Olympic distance triathlon in Wisconsin. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to finish. I had been kind of sick the few days leading up to the race and so my nutrition was a bit out of whack. I made it through the swim alright, despite it being a traffic nightmare (yes, somehow that IS possible on a swim). I made it through one loop of the bike course, but had started to feel dizzy on a few uphills and I just didn't feel safe continuing. It's disappointing, sure, but it was the best thing to do. I was happy with my performance on the swim, so that's something positive to take away from the whole experience.

Next sunday: the Muddy Buddy in Elgin with Heath. Hopefully the heat wave isn't too bad!
