Richard B. Russell Olympic 2015 Tri Race Report
Transition area is all set upThis was my third Olympic distance race, and honestly, it sucked for me! But I survived to race another day. The swim was two (2) 750 meter loops, 22 mile bike, then the run was two (2) 3.1 mi loops.

I impressed myself by achieving what I couldn't imagine myself having the ability to do: Swim a mile non-stop without a wetsuit in a race.
