After being sick for two and half weeks, I decided at the last minute to  pull the plug on Boise 70.3. I was kind of disappointed to not show up,  but I knew my lack of training the last 2.5 weeks  had left me a little  unprepared to race a half iron distance race. I still wanted to race  something on that weekend though, so I decided to find something local.  This found me at the Moses Lake Olympic triathlon.
Really my goal  for the race was to just have fun. The distances tend to be off at this  event, so I knew goal times would not matter. Overall I am happy with  the race. At the awards ceremony the race director announced that I had  the new course record, but I know the swim was short again this year  like it had been in previous years, so I don't think they can ever  really claim course records on that course. For now it is back to  training and getting in shape for Rev 3 Portland which is only 3 weeks  away.
