Zach and Katie Adventures

I don't feel like doing a full race report, so here's a bunch of photos. :-) Transition is set up! Nothing to do but chill! Beets do a body good! I started this race like a hot mess. I had goggle leaking issues during warm up, they pushed up start times due to the pending heat, and moments after kissing Zach goodbye, I realized I still had on flips flops. He had disappeared back into the crowd, so I stowed them behind a trash can in hopes they'd still be there post-race. I'm somewhere towards the front of that group. Zach said when I came zooming out of the water, sprinting past people, he heard some say "Now THAT is how it's done!!!!" Bike = fast, flat, with some wind. Run = really sharp, stabbing lady cramps at miles 3, 4.5 and 5.5. Came on with zero warning. Wanted to walk reeeeeally bad, but told myself I could only slow my pace, no walking . I was passed by a fellow AGer with 200m to go. She was going so fast I had NO...
