Really didn't know what to expect for this event. I almost didn't go on the tail of Ecoli infection and just not back to baseline. But I decided F#+k It! How could I pass up a BaseCamp reunion and a beautiful day in the sun.

Race day went so much better than expected. I was able to push all day and ended up 3rd in my category. Who knows what might have happened if I could read signs and not made a wrong turn? Bee, Bee, Bee. 🤣 But that's racing. I'm beyond thankful for having a really good day.
