Reflecting on Kona, one week later... While I assumed that I would be in recovery mode after racing, I’m instead still recovering from an upper respiratory infection. Although not what @danlorang & I prepared for, there wasn’t much more I could do except start and do what I could. Despite the race outcome, I had an amazing week with the @gozwifttriathlon Tri Academy team, industry peeps, & my friends in sport. I missed my tri community & being back on the Big Island felt like a homecoming. Being with the team was amazing- I was so proud of how this crew managed the highs and lows of the week. The fact they put up with my 5am coughing sessions (the world’s worst alarm clock) says a ton about them, And watching our alums out on the race course was like cheering on family. This sport is special- I feel so grateful how a shared love can bring so many people together from around the world. Mahalo 🌺 📷: @nilsnilsen
