Upset and Angry

Well DH did his race today and for the first time ever DNF!

They started the race an hour late due to fog. Which pushed everyone an hour later into the very sunny and hot afternoon. DH beat his Kansas Half Ironman swim time by two minutes and his bike by five minutes. He was cruising and feeling great!

And i feel so bad cause he was doing so well and prepared so hard for this race. His first three miles of the run went great as well. Then he hit THREE consecutive water stops that had NO ICE or NO COLD WATER! He had to drink so he drank the hot water and ended up throwing up twice and dizzy, couldn't walk straight, headache....heat exhaustion. He was done. Luckily a friend of his was volunteering at the water stop he stopped at and called me to let me know DH was coming in. It sucked.

His two friends also bombed. One did the run an HOUR slower than his Kansas run. Yeah i know.

Very very upset about the director of the race and how the hell do you not have cold water and ice on a half ironman distance race? Its mind blowing. I want to go run the fkrs over ya know. They are very lucky nobody stroked out or had heart attacks cause that would be a nasty lawsuit (one that surpasses the waivers since you expect to have water and ice available when you sign up for the race.)

So its a tough one that DH is going to have to mentally and phsycially recover from this week. He will. Its jsut frustrating.

DS somehow made it twelve hours with only  half hour nap and was playing and laughing all day. That made the day go well. Truly i enjoyed the day and watching the race.

Somehow i got some more sunburn (sat under a tent all day). So due to days events and results, i'm calling it a night, not going to run my two miles. That and i just ate lots of chili fries (hey i only a pop tart and chex mix all day).   Hope to produce a better week this week.
