Angels Race - TriathlonSprint

first of all, I hate pool swim tris.

I decided on no flip turns. no one passed me and I didn't pass anyone. I did get stuck behind a gal climbing out of the Y and down into the T area, but I needed to slow down or I would have busted my ass on the slick mats!

good swim, for a pool swim tri!

everything was already wet, even though I had it covered. so, I put on my wet socks and bike shoes, found my glasses and helmet and headed out to the mount line. my glasses fogged up so bad that I couldn't even see the line!!! a very nice volunteer 'talked' me to the line and I was off...well, I started coasting down the city streets. soon after, my sight was clear...just intime to go across the river bridge.

forget the socks...

wow! the weather really showed its ass here! going out it began to rain hard and it was slightly uphill. I passed several people, especially on the hills. one dude on a yellow bike passed me. on the way back it began to hail! I just kept laughing!!!

ah, let's see, change the weather!

my hands were cold and I couldn't tie my shoes!!!

run barefoot!

I took it real ez coming down the hill at first. I was on new shoes and I was NOT going to fall! it was not raining as hard on the run, but there were some big puddles. I felt I was running about a 10k pace and I actually passed some people.

grabbed a bagel and headed up to the T area. got my stuff and walked to the hotel. put on some dry clothes and headed back to see my sister and neice finish.


you're kiddin', right?


I enjoy this race because I get to hang out with my big sis and her family. most likely we will do it again next year!
