Chris and Ed raced their last tri of the season while we were in the Dells—at Devil’s Lake State Park. The views at this place were breath taking. I loved the place and would love to go back.
Aside from the views though, from a weather point of view this was one of the worst races for Chris in recent memory—cold and rainy the entire race. Chris has a “core” problem. Not a real problem, just that if he gets cold it takes him a LONG TIME to warm up. He doesn’t enjoy the races when it’s cold. He’d rather it be 100 degrees outside than cold and rainy. There have been several occasions over the years that I’ve had to pick him up in god- knows-where-land during his training bikes, swims, runs because he gets hypothermia. Looking on the bright side for me though---there was a big concession stand building where Ti and I and the girls hung out during the rain and sipped hot coffee AND we didn’t have to stick around after the race as the boys wanted to leave immediately.
Despite the nasty weather, it was still a good time!
