Door County Half Ironman - the good, the bad & the ugly




For the past three years now, I have participated in the Door County Half Ironman. Two years ago, it was my first Half Ironman and it was a BIG DEAL! I had friends and family there for support. Last year, because I really don't enjoy biking, I did the relay with friends...I've decided, this is my true preference! And then this year, I went up alone and simply met friends who were also participating in the event. It's funny how quickly things become so relative...within two years, this event became a training event and not a BIG DEAL.
So...
THE GOOD: Justin & Kathy waiting for me at the end. Thank you!
THE BAD: It was 100 degree heat index. I'm breaking up with this event.
THE UGLY: 7 weeks until Ironman WI and reality has set in...
