your best teacher is your last mistake'

I'd be doing my coach, supporters and self no justice if I said I was happy with my race in Hawaii. On a tough day in the heat, I found myself in situations, making poor decisions when I was not quite meeting my pre-race expectations. With that said I worked very hard on my race preparation and felt that I was capable of handling the challenges that were thrown at me. With the amazing support I received in Kona from the BTC supporters and the thoughts of my friends and family I always tried to enjoy the experience and respect the tough race that I was having. Here's how things went down.
