Well, tried to race today, it was 27degrees and a pool swim. Well little sprint, got the lead out of transition area, froze on bike, almost crashed twice. Half way through the bike i thought about stoping, i was shaking so bad with the wind chill that i couldnt get into my aerobars on the rough road. Getting off the bike, i still had lead but lost a lot of time on bike, tried to run but fell shaking putting on shoes, 1mile into run, i was passed by a crosscountry runner but it didnt phase me, i was a mess but wanted to finish, i tried stopping but i was shaking and felt horrible, i couldnt put one step in front of the other. Oh well, finished the race by walk running to finish, but spent sometime warming up in medical and in hot tube. I thought the race was going to be changed to a duathlon, oh well a good story not a bad workout. I dont think i will ever do a pool swim in minus degree weather again, my body just didnt respond and it is the first time i was scared for my life. Oh well i am better now recovering with a blanket. It is supposed to be 70degrees tommorow so i will have a big day but for now i am working on gettting my core temp out. Congrats to all the people who put warm clothes on and had a blast and had great races. Especially Mikey who really looked good out there.
Cheers and thanks for reading.
