This reverse triathlon was awesome. I loved every part of it. The run was smooth and flat. Transitioning to the bike was easy and no stress. 12 miles biking as fast as you can, will get ya! Getting off the bike and taking my clothes off for the swim was interesting. Jelly legs! The swim was a little crowded but what can you expect with one pool having to go down lane after lane. I would def do this one again. I love the medal, one of my favorites. The only thing that sucked was the weather in the beginning. WOW, 40 degrees!!! I was freezing my BUTTOFF!!! Made me run faster though. Could not feel my toes or fingers. Very odd feeling while running. Easy day of bib pick up which always rocks. Friendly volunteers! I was a TINY bit disappointed that if you placed in your age group, you only got a certificate. I was hoping for a second medal. DARN!
