My most recent races found me south of the border in southern Mexico, and not too far from the border in Galveston, TX.  Although my result at Huatulco wasn't what I wanted, I was happy with how I overcame several challenges during that race and pushed hard until the finish.  The course and the extreme heat and humidity make Huatulco a hard race no matter what. With some stomach issues going into the race and losing a full waterbottle on the bike, I had some extra issues to deal with.  I did as much damage control as possible and managed to still obtain a few points from this race, so it was not a complete loss, but I wanted to finish much higher than 26th.

Conversely, while I got on the podium in Galveston, I'm actually not at all satified with how I performed there.
