Not only was I excited that the home base for the race was only about two miles away at Clearwater beach; I was also very excited that the bike portion passed right in front of our apartment! The night before the race, Linsey and I didn't get to sleep until 1-2 am, so I decided not to wake up early to see the 6:45am pro-start. But I did wake up at about 7:00am and was able to cheer on some of the bikers as they passed our apartment.
An hour or two later, Linsey and I biked over the causeway to check out the transition area/other stuff that was setup near the beach. We took a few pictures along the way and were fortunate enough to catch the womens 1st place finisher Britian, Jodie Swallow as she passed by heading in on the last 3-4 miles of her run.
