Sad article regarding the triathlon yesterday. Can't believe we didn't hear anything about it while there:

Hm - I'm a 43 year old woman - maybe this isn't a good sign! We were talking about the swim after the race and wondering why that wasn't the last event instead of the first. That way if it was colder out, at least the water would have a little chance to warm up. And if it was hot like yesterday, it would feel good to hit the water for the swim after biking and running. Royce commented that it was probably because of people like him who would drown after doing all the other events. Guess he might have been not too far off the mark!
Incidentally, if you want to know how "well" I did, I placed 221th out of 256 women overall and 32nd out of 44 in my age bracket. Guess I'm not going to make a living this way! I was, however, 36th after the swim of those 256 people, so you can see where my strength is!
Lawrence - glad to see you back here and that you're getting the teeth taken care of. I'm sure it's miserable now, but you'll be glad in the future. Did they give you anything for the pain? Are you working on getting all of the teeth out? I can't even imagine!
