Congrats on the 3rd overall placement Jen! It was fun to read your report and it sounds like you had a great day as well as a great race
Look at you go--and in your orange shirt! BIG congrats on your "two" 3rd place awards! That's very cool. BTW, funny that you were in long sleeves and chilly at the start...it was in the 80s here in MI. I'd kill to live on the ocean sometimes.

So I was right behind this one guy at the turn around and they were handing out bottled water. I grabbed one and ran with it. I couldn't get it opened and frustratedly gasped, "I can't open this!" The guy in front of me reached back, relay style, grabbed it from me, opened it and handed it back.
