Benbrook Women's Tri

Kuddos to Nana. She raced a triathlon in the pouring rain on Sunday! The race was supposed to be a 300 yard swim, 13.8 mile bike that included "nice hill" followed by a 5k run. To get to the main part of the bike course you have to cross over a creek, and with all of the rain the road was flooded, so they had to either cancel the race or change the bike course. The only option for changing the course was to ride as far as you could go before the road flooded (a little less than 3 miles) and then turn around and come back. So that is what they did, and they did two loops. The 13.8 mile bike became 6 miles! Pretty funny. But it was still a race and Nana did awesome, placing first in her age group! Woo Hoo! I don't know if she even knows this, but her bike average was 20.2 mph! Way to go, Nana. That is two first place finishes in a row so we expect nothing less than first place from now on :)
