One cannot imagine the joy of being done with the swim.

A precursor to the back-breaking, soul-sapping, legs-jellifying bike course (relative to me only, of course), which started with... a steep climb. I was unable to even mount properly - I had to find the flattest spot I could to get on.

Digging for GU Chomps. GU Chomps are the best! They are so much better than Clif Shot Bloks because they taste like beer.

Desiree Koh:
Back on track! Phew!
Desiree Koh:
Kind of a dorky finish shot.
