We got to travel down to Muncie, IN to race the Muncie 70.3 half ironman this past weekend. Unfortunately, due to a National Weather Service Excessive Heat Warning  (Heat Index forecast of 115 degrees), the Race Director had to make a hard decision to shorten the race.   (1mile x 29 mile x 6.2 mile run).  Nobody was happy about it.  I personally don't think it's in our personalities to concede that something is TOO hard (or in this case, TOO hot).  In the end, at the awards ceremony, Greg Bennett said it best "the right decision was made, no one died today and that was the goal."
