Leah Isbell vs. Hunter Kemper (the Olympian a.k.a a super fancy)

My transition area

Hunter's transition area, please notice that he doesn't have a little tupperware container to wash his feet off or a fancy ladybug balloon to mark his transition area

Leah before the swim

The swim went faster than I planned on and I was really happy with my time but super tired when I got out of the lake and ran to my transition area.  Oh did  I mention that Hunter Kemper finished before I even started.  He went twice as far as I did and he finished in less time than it took me to do my race.

I thought the bike was horrible.  Everyone kept passing me including a 10 year old on a mountain bike...yikes!  I bike about 15 miles an hour and Hunter Kemper bikes about 30 miles an hour

Run

The run was the worst.  It was super hot out and I was pretty dehydrated as I wasn't able to drink enough water on the bike because I didn't have a water bottle.  Hunter Kemper was super fast.  I got to see him finish before I started my race and barely noticed the blur that is Hunter run by.

Finish- another item checked off the 30 before 30 list!

While I will never be an Olympian like Hunter I am still happy that I finished!
