The first thing that jumps out at me is that amazing negative split on the bike by over 30 minutes...that's awesome!

Great job, but it's about much more than numbers. You were up against some tough conditions and you did what you had to do! Awesome, I look forward to reading your report.

Nancy, I am so proud of you! I've said it before and I'll say it again, you are an amazing woman!

It's hard to make a choice like that, but you've raced enough to know when you're just punishing your body. You did an amazing job!

Thank you for sharing your journey with us. I look forward to seeing what you do with the rest of this year and next!
