I along with 4 other of my team mates attended Wildflower this year. It started off to be a great weekend. I met one of my favourite Amazing Race participants; Sarah. She was representing CAF. Who knows maybe I can replace her old partner from the LA Tri club; Peter for the reunion show. Sarah can clearly see that Team Polar San Francisco is where is at at.Although the sun was shining; it was was very windy and hot. In fact there were white caps on the lake on Saturday morning. I believe these continued into Sunday with even hotter weather. These made for a rough swim. The wind didn't help on the bike either until we turned that corner. From what I understand there were no records set on the course that weekend. However, Team Polar San Francisco did well.
Kyle did the Olympic course on Sunday he came first in his age group and 9thy overall . Another great finish for Kyle. Also in the same age group as Kyle was Ed Swanson. He did very well in coming in the top 25% of his age group.
The other three members of Team San Francisco who competed at Wildflower were Myself (Mandie Rewcastle), Nicole McNair and Dave Hendsch. We all did the Long Course on Saturday. 
Dave finished strong in his age group; he placed 11th.
After not fully coming back from my knee and hip injury I ended up doing the swim and the bike portions of a relay. Although I was feeling so good on my bike that I was hoping that my relay partner was not going to be there and I was going to take her shoes and run. She was in fact ready and the "M&M Chixs" were happy with our 3rd place finish. However, it is just as well Mindy did the run as I ended up with very sever sun burns from the biking portion. A tip for you do not use aerosol sunscreen on a windy day.
