I love the swim, but that 60F felt cold and the wind had me swerving. Trail run was a bit of a surprise for me too.

[@EMELYNJADE]

yeah the wind was bruutal, I definitely had some tears 😅

[@cometriwithannie]

Stomach issues are the worst!! Too much sodium with not enough water was probably your issue. That’s happened to me before! Always drink your water no matter what

[@EMELYNJADE]

Good to know!!

[@michelleklein3713]

Great job with the race! Not everything goes to plan -so nice job working with the conditions and issues to have a great finish! Oh and I learned that nothing is as flat as what I train on at home. So “flat” is flat(ish) to me most of the time …

[@EMELYNJADE]

Thank you!! Haha yeah it's the same with me too 😅

[@noelle8301]

Huge congrats!! So great to hear that the swim went well for you! I so appreciate you sharing all of the details because we sometimes just see that finish line time and how great they felt at the end, but we don’t get to hear the struggles and the work that went it. You’re amazing!! 🎉😊

[@EMELYNJADE]

Thank you!! I'm all about sharing the realities of it all - highs and lows!

[@EricaNangle]

[@shaywhite]

I felt so bad for you guys at the swim start!! They only let 2 people in at a time for the first like 30 mins which is why it took so long then they finally started letting people in 3 at a time. Was crazy for you to have to wait so long You and Cian did great!

[@EMELYNJADE]

ahh that makes sense. i was wondering why it took soo long to get into the water!

[@michelleklein3713]

I would have frozen in that water. Goodness I am cold in low 70s but then again I’m a southern gal 😅
