NeverQuit Trident Challenge Today – Crappy weather but great results

Woke up around 5am to get ready, grab a light breakfast and head out to Jax Beach. Dropped Cindy off near the registration booth at the beach and it’s already blowing pretty fierce. So much for glassy AM conditions 🙂
We got signed in and setup down at the beach around 7, then the rain showers start up and last til about 10 minutes before the 7:30am start.
Due to the heavy seas, the swim portion of the event was cancelled and a longer run was added instead. Guess we’ll have to participate again next year for the full experience. Temperature for the event ended up being really nice, so that was a plus. Also was able to body surf in on a nice wave, which probably helped me pass about 4-5 people!

Cindy did awesome, completing the event in 47:22 and came in fourth overall in the Women’s division. She was 4 seconds away from a third place trophy!
I made it, completing the event in 48:06, which was 46th overall in the Men’s division. I could have pushed harder, but being my first event was unsure of my endurance thru all the events, so a lesson learned for next time..
