The Big Kahuna Triathlon on Sept. 9 was a huge success and is one of my best races ever. I smashed my previous Half Ironman PR by almost 24 minutes! I finished in the top 23% overall and top 26% in my age group. I came out of the 1.2 mile swim in 38:33 and felt fresh and ready for the bike. I tore up the fast bike course in 2:27 and was surprised how good my legs felt after the 56 miles. I wasn't sure how the run would go, but I did my nutrition great and suffered no cramping thus had a steady 2:00 half marathon. The weather was great; cool with a light breeze. The race finished on the beach with the tough last meters on the sand but it didn't bother me as I had the biggest smile on my face. I definitely felt God was with me and carried me through a perfect race, I couldn't do any of this if it weren't for Him.
