The short course race did not start until 2 pm. That left time for a leisurely breakfast and a side trip to Oz. We got to the lake about 12:30, and I got set up. I was pretty nervous because it was my first mass start swim. The idea of starting with 1000 other people was more than a little intimidating. I made it through and was on my bike in less than half an hour. The bike was amazing. Hard and beautiful. People lined the street and would scream "ALLEZ, ALLEZ Rebecca!" It was great. As if the ride wasn't pretty enough, the run was gorgeous.

We had a post race dinner of pizza and crepes. Kyle's crepe was stuffed with apples, drowned in chocolate, and covered in ice cream and whipped cream. I've never seen anything quite like it before.
