It was so rainy I put on extra gear. Pants, hoodie, and Jacket. It was still pouring rain so it took me awhile to get everything.

The head winds were brutal and on top of it rain was pouring on you. I was going btwn 7-10mph!! It was like going up a steep hill for 10mile. Just when I was able to pick up the pace to 22mph and the rain had stopped. I noticed that my tire looked low. Then it adventually went flat. :( I could see that I was close but still a few miles away. I was p/u by the girls passing out pizzas to the volunteers. Thank you Thank you!!!
What would you do differently?:

I have been spinning since Oct. I need to get out on my bike more often. I normally don't ride in rainy so this was a new expirence. I need to learn how to change a tire. And bring the supplies with me.

I feel I am getting better in the run!!!! Thank you Running for Women Group!! I did give myself some walking breaks. I think 4x for 1min or less. I was going to do 2min run and 2min walk but I feeling good. It was hard. All the volunteers on the course were so motivating. I really appreciated all their cheering!!!
