Nicki nearing T2. She's smiling because she knows she's beating a dude.
MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. — The elements are always a key part of any course and any race day. Today, the wind is blowing in 17-mph gusts to the south.
That's good news; as long as you're riding south. Nicki hates the wind. It's very discouraging to be putting forth high power and heart-rate numbers only to be going 12 mph. And the final miles of the bike leg were mostly north-facing.
I can only imagine how happy Nicki must be right now to be out of the pedals and into her runners. She finished the 56-mile bike leg a few moments ago. My watch freaked out earlier, so I can only guess on her bike time, which is probably going to be somewhere around 3 hours.
The 13.1-mile run is next. It's mostly flat. The temps are in the 60s right now, which is certainly favorable. I'm headed back out; hope to return with more photos.
