Great race report; fabulous PR! And way to turn your attitude around. I found that the only thing that cures a charley-horse for me is to relax, but who can relax when their leg is all twisted in pain! Congratulations, 21CM. Great race report; fabulous PR!

I could well imagine watching you reeling on the stones after the swim with a cramp; cruising along at cadence pace on the bike; and chugging on in on the run. You didn't get a DNF and you PRed by a ton. Weren't you cussing triathlons there for awhile? Now what? I liked your story very much.
