Tough Day in Placid

It’s kind of ironic; 3 years ago I cried becuase I was so happy to finish second place behind Heather Fuhr. This year, I had to hold back tears of disappointment with my second place finish. I wanted the win so badly. I wanted to be the first US woman to win Ironman Lake Placid. I was so close, I could taste it. I was in contention all day, but the elements got the better of me. I battled hypothermia and dehydration throughout the day and ended up suffering in the discipline that I thought would be my strength. Huge congratulations to Caitlin Shea-Kenney, who won and set a run course record. I will post a report soon. Right now, I am enjoying spending some time with my family on Long Island, hanging out with my old high-school friends, being very lazy and eating lots of junk food!
