Well THAT Sucked...

...but we’re all glad we did it!

Just a quick note that everyone know that all 5 of us (including multi-sport first-timer Steph) finished the Winter BeGone Duathlon this morning! The race came close to being canceled...

There was RAIN.
There was LIGHTNING.
There was a little HAIL.
There was WIND.
There was COLD. (is that a sentence?)

And there was a car full of us from the Cities that didn’t really want to start the race.

Here’s a quick photo of Pharmie before the race standing (and shivering) in a downpour:



But we all got through it!! Back with a bunch of photos and our story from the duathlon tomorrow morning.

  9. Congrats for getting through the event. Makes my run in the rain today feel very wimpy.

    Will it ever be warm here again?

  18. Those are probably the worst possible race condition you could ask for. Even snow would have been better.
