we arrived in the town, got registered and promptly downed a pasta buffet provided by pizza hut :-) We then got camped and tried to get some shut eye with a sleeping arrangement of us three stuffed into a two person tent.
The first wave of the race started at 7:00 but Ross' and my wave (18-24) started at 7:53 so we got to the transition area early to get our bikes and running gear checked in. We then donned our wet-suits and headed down to the swim start. We chilled in the water and waited for our heat to be called on deck and when our turn finally came we found our spots while "we will rock you" blared in the background. And then we were off!
I don't want to go into too much detail on what happened during the race for that would take far too long but I can simply say that it was an absolute blast and actually seemed to go by really Quickly!
I (Nathan) was fortunate enough to finish the race in 5 hours and 25 min and Ross with his incredibly short training period of 2 months managed to pull together an astounding 6 hour 12 minute race! I know! He's a stud for sure ;-)
It was so much fun and though it's now two days after the race I'm still crazy sore!
Sunday we went to Ross' church and got to meet and talk to some really dynamic Christians that knew their Bibles amazingly well.
And today we thoroughly enjoyed sleeping in and then we spent the afternoon with my family at a water park.
