 Run
Comments: I believe this was a 3 mile run -not a 5K- unfortunatley- because it would be a 5K pr for me :) 3 mile pace was 7:15. This was hard- I really wondered why the hell Ido this because it ws not fun- it actually kind of hurt- ugh. The run is wheer I met "hairy legs windows vista man".... self explanatory I beleive. He was my pace booty- not much to llok at- but a smooth even pace for me. He thanked me for pushing him... hey my pleasure dude :) The run course was different this year too....someone put HILLS in it- can you believe it??? What would you do differently?: Not much- pretty decent run for a dual.  Transition 1
Comments: Well I had a long run to my bike- but a short run with my bike to the bike out. I had a great transition but a HORRIBLE- PATHETIC bike mount- almost embarrassing really- I stopped completely before getting on- couldnt get clipped in- so I just rode and still couldnt get in- WTF??? Hopefully no one I knew was watching me :) What would you do differently?: practice getting ON my bike- A freak like me would rather go run 10 miles then take 10 minutes and practice something important.... next year  Bike
Comments: Well on the results it says 20.9 mph :) So thats what Ill take.... so close to 21...imagine what I can do with some new wheels??? mmmmmm.... Anyway- was a nice course saw "hairy legs windows vista man" at the begining- I said- "are you gonnna be my bike buddy too???" He says "well it seems to be working out so far" then I dusted him and didnt see him til after the race... hee hee. I rode with lots of guys with nice legs and nice bikes- was fun. There was a nice headwind where I was averaging about 16.8- nice. The bike course was crowded, you almost couldnt help drafting at times- oh well. Oh and I lost my yellow thingy form my aerodrink- bound to happen sometime I guess. I like this distance. What would you do differently?: Sign up for the race earlier so I can go out in an earlier wave so the bike course isnt so packed??? Transition 2
Comments: Well my dismount was OK- could be better. I had a little trouble getting my foot in my shoe. Wanted to take my long sleeve shirt off- but didnt want to waste time for a 1 mile run. What would you do differently?: nothing really Run
Comments: I sure didnt feel like I was going this fast. Was up a hill around a block then back down to the finish line. You could cross under the Packer side or the Vicking side- was sort of amusing. Was really happy when Ilooked down and saw my watch. I had a bet with Spanks- he thought Id go 2:05 or under - I said NO way- 2:10 MAYBE. Whatever!!! Last yera this run was 1.3 miles... 1 mile is sure easier :) What would you do differently?: run faster!! Next year sub 7:00s for my run :) Post race
Warm down: Got my race info sheet- saw I was 1st in my AG. Happy girl. Walked to transition- and checked my phome- I had three messages all saying..."well its 10:00 why arent you done yet???" What limited your ability to perform faster: Nothing... Im not much faster then that Event comments: Good race- again. Last updated: 2007-09-24 12:00 AM

Well, my husband conviced me to get up a little ealier then I had planned- he knows I am super with directions ;) But I got there with PLENTY of time (time to stand in the bathroom line- anyway). I was in wave 11 out of 13.... when am I going to learn to sign up for these things earlier? (Midwest sports events sends you out by when you register)
Oh- I passed a lot of cars on my way to GB- hoping that was a sign of good things to come!
No warm up- stretched a little. Was looking to be a great day weatherwise.
Oh yeah- I heard them announce they were weighing all Clydes and Athenas... which I wasnt raceing but wondered if I could be- so I got weighed just for fun- 149.5- I know fatty :)
