Yikes! WSMR was the site of some really strong winds on Saturday morning (4/15). I estimated them to be to about a steady 25 mph with gusts around 50! It made the Mt. Taylor bike descent look easy. Signs were getting blown around, people were being sand-blasted, and bike racks (with $10,000 + in bikes on them) were being knocked over. After a brief discussion, the organizers canceled the bike leg and extended the run leg. For what it's worth, the run course was later measured in our truck to be 4.25 miles, or just under a 7k. The swim stayed 400m long. To give you an idea of how strong the winds winds were, let me tell you that my feet were being knocked into each other, drafting packs formed, and, at one point, my cheeks & gums were flapping - and I wasn't even talking! That said, Julie and I did pretty well as the bikeless course worked to our advantage. I scanned in the full results here (465k).
