Had the Steelhead 70.3 Half Ironman this weekend. It went a lot better than I thought it would. I sort of dogged the run which, in retrospect was entirely unecessary, but fuck it. That distance wasn't near as hard on me as I thought it'd be. I had an awesome cycle despite losing my chain (to be fair, this was by far the fastest chain recovery in the history of my life). There was a clusterfuck of mass proportions after the race that nearly resulted in me being stuck in Benton Harbor Michigan for an unforseeable amount of time that was narrowly avoided. The result of which is that Steelhead organizers will be greatly amending their policies for the years to come about who gets access to gear check. I'll post a full recap of everything tomorrow. For now, I'm getting some sleep (finally).
