Good job - I thought about doing that race but I have kids on Saturday.  But, you sure are fast!!  Let us Florida BTers know if when you are racing again!  I am doing Sand Key and maybe Ft. Desoto. 

Congrats on the AG ranking!

Jessica/Sue,

Thanks for the post...like a month ago...I'm not too keen on all this blogger stuff, so I actually just saw it today for the first time. I appologize. Anyhow, thanks for the words.

My next race will be the Suncoast at Ft Desoto at the end of October. Hopefully I can still do well, but I expect there will be a bigger/faster group of people then at TSprings. I was pretty suprized by my finish at the last race. I've been a runner since highschool...but haven't been doing it much in the last 5 years...so ended up over 200 pounds. I needed something to shake things up, get back in shape, and lose weight. Tri seemed the way to go (that way I don't have to pound pavement...getting too old for that.
