Thank you. I have been here for a week and it is quite incredible. The equipment is unbelievable. The fit people are astonishing. :o It is quite overwhelming. I am so excited. The weather calls for high of 80's and only 95% humidity with just a little wind of 15-20 mph. Can't wait!! :)

It was fun tracking you guys. It seems that both of you did really well... It seems that it was a real scorcher yesterday.

Hans and Patti you guys rocked on a day that sounds like it was one of the toughest in the last 10 years. I hope you took it all in and congrats!

By far the hardest race I have ever done. It was an incredible experience. It seems surreal now. The ferocity of the wind and the intensity of the heat were unbelievable. It was weird watching people bike sideways and wobbly going both out and back. Even the pro's.
I am so glad I finished, there were many moments when I didn't think it was possible. I saw Hans the next day at breakfast, he looked great.

Thanks for the support. :)

Great job guys. Watched a lot of the online coverage. It looked brutally hot out there especially when you are coming from a New England autumn (Fall for those that need education). Hope you can both relax and enjoy looking back at a hugely successful but l....o....n....g season.
