Madison, Wisconsin
After my DNF in Rockford due to the heat, I wanted some redemption and signed up for Wisco. The weather couldn't have been more perfect with temps topping out in the low 60s and mild wind. I struggled on the swim with a leg cramp at ~200 yards to go, nursed my leg and tried to keep my heart rate and nutrition in a good state on the bike, and the run felt good and strong until about mile 9. My overall time was 7:37.25 which was pretty slow, but the goal was to just finish. The crazy thing is they ran out of medals at the finish! The event photographers had kept one to share amongst the finishers to at least get a photo on site. Very disappointing.
