Bike Anything But Smooth

The bike leg in Ironman Wisconsin is notoriously hilly. Some 400 feet of of travel is ridden up and down over the 112 mile course. That said, Jen looked very strong as she passed us at mile 42--the peak of one of the tallest climbs.

Road closures and construction made it pretty tough for us to follow, so Jim, Pam and I decided to grab some lunch at the Atlanta Bread Company then head back to our hotel to regroup and plan the rest of our course.

The weather has been beautiful thus far. 65 degrees and mostly sunny. The winds have picked up a bit to 10-15 miles per hour. It is cool in the shade. The latest check of the weather forecast shows that the rains have moved out of the area!

We are headed out to the run course to see Jen start the marathon leg. She's expected to come in around 3:30 or so. This may be the last post during the race... We have 5 opportunities to see her on the run, but it takes some hiking for us to pull it off. (We also need to stop at Frieda's for dinner and a margarita!) See you soon!
