 Run
Comments: It went great! I thought I had gone out too fast and was going to die, but I felt fine! What would you do differently?: Nothing :)  Transition 1
Comments: I took time to breathe, use my inhaler, and get my shoes & helmet on. I didn't get my foot stuck in my bike this time, although I did have a flashback to Minneman while getting in my pedals. What would you do differently?: I could've been a bit faster here.  Bike
Comments: I'm pretty sure the course wasn't 22 miles, but need to confirm that with Emily! What would you do differently?: Train more hills Transition 2
Comments: Almost forgot to take my helmet off - but I knew I could give it to Bob (Emily's husband) if I did. Saved myself an embarassing picture :) What would you do differently?: nothing Run
Comments: My legs were dead and I wasn't sure for part of it that I was going to make it, but then I saw Emily and knew I could make it :) I slowed down for a bit to catch my breath. What would you do differently?: nothing Post race
Warm down: Waited for Emily to finish, took some pics, got a medal, signed up for a massage, ate some food, chatted with a lady from Colorado, got a massage on legs & upper traps, waited for awards. I won a spinervals dvd! On my way back to my car, I saw someone who didn't fare so well - she was fine, but her bike was missing the front wheel, front spoke, 1 pedal, and 1 handlebar. Yikes. What limited your ability to perform faster: training more hills Event comments: Wow - this definitely is the best race ever - participants, volunteers, booths, massages, announcer, etc. It was awesome and it was a gorgeous day! It was great seeing Emily again, and wish I would've met the other BTers. Hopefully I'll meet them next time! Profile Album Last updated: 2007-07-02 12:00 AM

ate a banana and a bagel with pb on my drive down to the race. I got there about 5:45am and hardly anyone was there, so I got a prime spot for my bike in the transition zone! Got my stuff out, and noticed I had 2 left running shoes. Freaked out a bit, but went back to my car and my right shoe was sitting there waiting for me!
Got back to transition, had Penn Cycle check my tires, and then found Emily & Bob. Took some pics, potty break, quick jog through transition and it was time to go! Then I stood there with 800 other women, freezing for 20 minutes until they secured the bike course.
