Subject: Beat my time by over 21 minutes!!

One of my big goals of this season was to beat my time of my first triathlon. I did Try the Tri a sprint  in Briston RI last Sept and finished and was excited for that...I knew I had a lot of room to improve. I had hoped to beat my time by 20 minutes.

Today I did it and I beat my time from last year by 21 minutes and 42 seconds!! I PRed my 5K time by a big second compared to my race 10 days ago. My bike mph was the best ever in a race...swim was good for the 3 foot ocean waves.  I, the slug, am faster! I passed so many people (both men and women) on the bike (thanks June bike challenge!) and was only passed by one women on the bike. Most of them in turn passed me on the run...I improved over 5 minutes in the swim...almost 10 in the bike, and over 4 in the run, plus both my transtions were less than half of what they were last year!! I put my RR up.

I actually raced with other people...often I am alone on the bike and run course. It was fun...and I'm so thankful to BT for all the things I have learned over the last year.

WTG Kathy!! I was there as well this morning and experienced the conditions you went through. 21 minutes improvement while dealing with the waves, tide and fairly strong crosswinds is particularly awesome.

Awesome job Kathy!!! You are soooo my hero (or is that heroine??) I agree with Bill, I don't think you can use the words "slug" and "I" in the same sentence anymore.

The race results just got posted. I'm thrilled with my bike result....71/128 overall, 1/7 of athenas, and 13/47 of all women...11 of the 13 were younger than I am. Swim and Run I ended up both the same 120/128 and 6/7 of athenas. I need to get faster in both swimming and running. I figured out my transtion times as well (the accountant in me is coming out) and I was 1/7 in T1 and 2/7 in T2.

You guys are so supportive and encouraging...thanks a lot!! Now why do I feel so blue today? I don't have another race for 5 weeks....it is strange ...I think I have been looking forward and thinking about beating my time for so long...it is weird to have it done it now. I'm even sad that the summer is almost over and racing season will be over as well. Am I odd or what?

Kathy,
You did great!! I met you after the race yesterday. When you get a chance can you send me the website for the Baystate tri team that you were talking about? By the way, your husband was very nice and encouraging at the water station. I was so happy to be at the halfway mark when I saw him. I was thrilled to complete my first tri and can't wait to do another.
I feel a little let down also as I have not yet signed up for another one. Which one are you doing?
