You should be able to post now. I changed the settings. Papa and Sue, you made such nice comments. I shared them all with Peter. He's resting now. Thanks to all for following.



Ran into Eric Engel that trained with Endurance house last year. He was 1st in his age group: 9:36. Peter says he's the fastest person he knows. Headed to Kona next year!

Icing the knee in the VIP viewing area

In the VIP area. In good spirits but disappointed.

Stopped. Can't finish due to injury. :(. In medical tent getting his knee patched up. I'm so proud of my Peter Dettmer

Just finished bike crashed T 56 and hurt his knee. That's what held him up before. Is trying to run but knew has a gash




Wendy from team refuel has been about 15 mins ahead of Peter she just came through.

Hearing stories from athletes about how windy the bike section was. Still waiting.

Waiting at the run start ...
