 Curacao Triathlon Good evening all, Aimee did great today!! She got third! The race started at 4:00 with a long swim consisting of two big loops out in the ocean. This was the event she dominated and she was the first woman out of the water and was the 16th person out right behind the pros, that girl can swim!! I was so proud I just wanted to give her a metal for that alone and go home but off she went for the next event. Once out of the water they quickly run to an area where their bikes are hanging, sit in a chair, rinse their feet, put their biking gear on and go!! So now it’s off to do a 12 mile ride in serious wind, hills and heat not to mention pot holes and crazy local drivers that reach out of their car windows and try to grab you, yeah ask her about that one!! As you see here she was one of the few athletes that had to ride a mountain bike, everyone else had the much faster road bikes and she lost time because of it, but she did great for what she had. If you look at her tires I took off the one’s used for the dirt and put on some smooth road tires and this did help a lot but still a big disadvantage. So after a long ride she then went back to the start, put her bike back up on the rack and this time put her running shoes on and off she went again. The run was around three miles and by the look on everyone’s faces it was tough especially in the heat! As she passed me running I yelled “you go girl” but all I really got back was a tongue sticking out at me and a look of why am I doing this?? Folks she did great, I am so proud of her!! We are off to celebrate with a yummy dinner at the Ribs Factory so I better get going!!
See you all tomorrow, Barry
