I'm pretty bummed out because that was my 1 PR shot this year. Memphis in May didn't really count since it was a different course... but it's nice to know I did cut time on a longer and slightly more difficult course anyways
It looks like my Tri season is over though. My wife just had surgery again (they did it right this time, and got everything fixed), so heading out of town soon is not in the cards. The only close (to Memphis) late-season race that I could find was up at Heber Springs... but it's the day after a metric century ride (my first) and I'm honestly not sure I could handle the hills the very next day...

So... I'm heading into "winter mode" a little early and will continue to try to build my run (may run a 5k or two just for fun), work on building my bike after the Flatlander metric, and do some tinkering on the bike itself.
Sorry about the cancellation. There will be more in your future and as far as I am concerned, a BOP finisher here, every finish is a PR. Good luck to your wife with her recovery.
