Julie and I camped just outside of Helena the night before and arrived at the race with plenty of time to get ready. This olympic length race was to be a trainer for Julies Half Ironman in few weeks. Julie did quite well finishing 5th overall in womens and third in her age group!
Julie had a very calm race prep. Marty the Mule looks pissed though (angry not drunk)
