Down in Panama City, Florida, we had a few members knocking off an easy Half Ironman ;-)  Seriously, I heard it was a pretty rough day.  They had to work to get past the break water and even once out a ways the swells made it about impossible to see the buoys.  Aside from some bike mechanical problems, I think things moved along on the road, but once on the run the heat was just brutal.  Congrats to the racers for getting through it and raising the $$ for TNT.
