Race recap
Thanks to everyone who has called or e-mailed!
I promise a more thorough race recap, but life is stressful right now. quick summary, I got a call at 2 AM the morning of the race to tell me my Dad had a heart attack. No one in my family has ever had a heart attack. From 2 until 4 AM I was waiting to hear the results of the catheter to see if he was going to need open heart surgery. At 4:30 I found out that they had stabilized him and inserted a stint. I was told to do my race and then come home. Needless to say, it was a very stressful race and I had a lot on my mind. Totally screwed nutrition up going into the run and didn't take in ANY fuel for the run other than nursing a bottle of HEED. B-O-N-K!
Heart rate graphs and GPS maps (the one for the swim is funny):

MMB,
Good talking with you this morning. Sounds like dad is doing well and we'll continue to pray for a full recovery. Take this week and recover, both mentally and physically. You need it and deserve it. Other than easy, short recovery stuff, there are no training gains to be made this week. If all is well next week, get back to it then. Great job on your first 1/2 IM. Mike
