The Race is On!

Jen rose this morning at 4:30am. She was more confident than I've ever seen her. It was a smooth morning overall. She hooked up with Carol, Carla and set up there bikes for the improved weather outlook! Mother nature has cleared the rains (for at least the first part of the day) for an absolutely beautiful swim start.

Jen came out of the water at 1:23:42 - approximately 3 minutes ahead of last year and cleared T1 at 9:45 - a solid minute ahead of last year. She started the bike leg at approximately 8:30am. She is expected to be out there for around 7 hours. Her dad Jim, sister Pam and I are headed out on the course to see Jen tackle "The Hill" (affectionately known as "The Bitch")
