St. Croix 70.3
St. Croix, US Virgine Islands
May 6th, 2012
1.2 Mile Swim ---
56 Mile BIKE --- 13.1 Mile RUN
By far one of my
most favorite races! Can’t really complain too much about the location, the
distance, the atmosphere… everything went swimmingly!
I could write a
book about my St. Croix experience, so I’ll spare you. I was so behind with my
blog updates that I can’t do a full report now.. it wouldn’t do it justice.
Here are a few
highlights:
·
Standing
next to Lance Armstrong during the swim warmup to the island
·
Getting
stared down by Lancey Pants as he ran down his last lap to the finish
·
Cheering
on Andy Potts to a win
·
Getting
second in my Age Group and sealing a spot to the 70.3 Champs in September!
·
Swimming
in the beautiful waters of St. Croix
·
Staying
at the Buccaneer Hotel… Beautiful views and great food
·
Snorkeling
around the local islands the day after the race
