The day before, I'd done the Santa Cruz Mountain Challenge - a century ride up and down and up and down the Santa Cruz Mountains, including the dreaded Jamison Creek climb, and I was spent. I'd still planned on coming out and jumping in to do the swim, and maybe the bike portion of the Sandman. But, alas, I overslept and didn't make it down to the venue until after Dave and Rick had just finished their races. Doh! Still, I snapped some pictures to memorialize the moment, so enjoy...
