What a day. The courses just seem to keep getting tougher and tougher. At least we know that Florida is going to be flat - I think we've had our fill of hills for the time being.
Having spoken to experienced 70.3ers, including Craig Alexander, St. Croix is known to be the toughest of the 70.3s. Mother Nature did her best to make it extra challenging with rain, strong winds and temperatures into the 30s. We saw a lot of crashes, punctures and other malfunctions and I think it's safe to say, we both feel extremely elated to have completed this one!
We won't go into too much detail as we'll be submitting a race report in the next day or two, but overall, given the conditions and a stomach bug Brian picked up the night before, we're both quite satisfied with our results. Afterall, this venture is about perserverence, and we succeeded.
We met quite a few people on this trip - from Edmonton to Vegas, Kingston to New York - people taking genuine interest in our quest and our causes, it really helps keeps our minds focused on continuing to raise awareness for our causes.
On this leg, Brian managed to share our story with Craig Alexander, Mike Pigg and Faris Al-Sultan to name a few.....
Full report to come. Thanks for tagging along.
