Just like Memphis in May everything went smoothly. I got their with plenty of time to get everything ready in transition. We had to check the bikes in the night before so it was easy just to through some shoes and helmet and stuff out. The weather was perfect. The water was around 68 so it was wetsuit legal. I was in the first wave which went off at 7am. I started the swim and about half way through I thought I was in the back but I got out of the water 3rd female. I swam a 21min mile, got my bike and headed out onto the 4 lap course. There where lots of turns which definitely slowed down the course. I got off of the bike in 6th with a 1:09 ride. T2 went just as smooth, both transitions took longer because of how long we had to run through grass and dirt with our bikes. I didn’t feel quite as strong as I would have liked on the run. I ran a pokey 45. I finished 6th with a time of 2:19.
About 2 hours after the race James and I headed up to Arkansas for the week to mountain bike, trail run, and swim. We got here in 10 hours. I’ll definitely be sharing some pics of the views!

ps-check out the website on the butt:)
