Surving Tropical Storm Gabrielle!!

Greetings from North Carolina!! You all would be proud of me... I held my own and represented the TNT Philly posse well down here at the triathlon!! =) The course was amazing and the weather held up despite the looming tropical storm threatening the great state of North Carolina. I definitely understand why the location is prime for a half-iron. The lake was crystal clear... the whole swim you could see the sand bottom. A couple rolling hills on both run and bike, but pretty flat. The exciting news is that I cut 23 minutes off my SheRox time... the race was the exact same distance (800m swim, 15 mile bike and 3.1 mile run)... finishing at 2hrs and 7minutes. More importantly... NO FLAT TIRES!!! And the bike travelled perfect on the plane... bike case was great... taking the bike apart and putting back together was EASY!!! Hopefully will work out the same way going home. Also, I have added aero bars to the bike and they were much fun to ride on... didn't get the stiff shoulders or anything. =)

Hope everyone who did a ride today rocked out and had fun in Philadelphia... good weather. See everyone soon...
