John, I am so thrilled for you - a SILVER medal in those wretched conditions. You made us proud!! Good job. I had a number of friends competing in the Sprint distance on Friday and I was watching on line Saturday morning the start of the OLY age group event until I had to go and do my own workout. I am going to go and check right now and see how Sheila Isaacs in the 70+ Women's category did. Were you able to connect with her?
I cannot believe how incredibly cold that water must have been followed by a cold wind onthe bike. I had hypothermia 3 weeks ago out on a long ride up to Simcoe in frigid rain and wind.
Yesterday I had my first race of the season at Lakeside and you may have heard that the humidity down here was in the high 30C+ range....what bizarre weather we have had.
Safe travels back to Ontario. what is up for rest of season? Are you going to Peterborough first weekend of July? I will be there doing the long course if you are around - given it is in your backyard.
Take care. Enjoy the high you must be on!
Vicki
