Ah...no waves or rip currents on Lake Michigan as we lounged on the beach Sunday in St. Joe's...

Just a quick update on what happened at Steelhead 70.3 on Saturday August 2nd 2008...After all us triathletes made the 1.2 mile walk on the beach to the swim start for the 1st wave to leave at 7am the organizers were forced to drop the swim portion due to massive under-tow, white cap waves and alot of chop...they then informed us to walk (1.2 miles) back to the transition because now we were all going to run a Half Ironman DUATHLON...

Here's the link to the Ironman website Steelhead race report:

Also it was great to see fellow blogger Steve out there on the run twice cheering us all onwards...Thanks Steve plus here's a great link to his sherpa race report from Steelhead:
