this was more than twice the distance i've ever done in a race before. i was near the back of my wave, but not last, there were some people from the next wave that passed me, but i also caught up with some people from the wave before me. i'm not a great swimmer, and my goal was to just get through it, and i did. i'm happy with my time (especially since i figured on it being about twice that LOL)

be a better swimmer. :)

i was parked as absolutely far as i could have been from everything. i DID run from the water to my bike, but it was just so dang far away! i sorta wished i'd had some flip flops or something, as my feet are pretty wimpy, but it was fine.

can't really think of anything, i'm pretty happy with how things turned out.

oh. my. gosh. this is the most fun a person can have on two wheels. i LOVED this bike course! my bike performed GREAT. i couldn't have been happier. going through the tunnel was the most fun, the view from the bridge was AWESOME especially with the sunrise and the clouds and stuff. i didn't have any trouble on the big uphill part, i know people were stopping and stuff, but i got lucky and just blasted right up. it was SWEET (have i mentioned that i love that bike?!?) i did see the chick that wrecked, on my way back, the emt's were sitting with her and he neck was in a brace, but she was sitting up, and she looked like she was talking to them, so i assumed she was all right. loved loved loved the bike!!

NOTHING!! it freaking ROCKED!

had trouble getting my bike back on the rack, just wasn't as much room there, i had to kind of push the bike next to mine just a tad to make a spot then wrestled my bike back up, but it was a pretty ugly and awkward maneuver. anyway, then i booked it over the the run start, and i felt pretty good about that too.

be less clumsy? yeah, that'd be nice.

ran more of it than i expected to, before when i've raced the bike has so sucked all my energy out that i end up walking a LOT of it. but this time, i was pretty much ok. not very fast, my average is about 2 minutes/mile faster than that, but whatever, it was fun. it was starting to get pretty hot by then, so i was quite warm, the fellas at the bottom of the big hill before the end, drumming a beat, i found amusing and charming, until i started up the hill, then i wanted to run back and kiss them all LOL that was rad.

try to run more of it.

ran through, fought through a mob just to get some air, my mom and my sister were bawling, which sorta cracked me up, chugged a LOT of water, was feeling super dehydrated.


i can't really think of anything, this is a pr for me. :) next one will be even better!!


this was hands down the FUNNEST race i've ever done. and my first time to BREAK 2 HOURS!!! i didn't know my time until actually like 10 hours after the race, because of my stupid watch, but i was really really hoping it would be under two hours, and IT WAS!!!! this was epic for me. i had fun, i raced well, i broke 2 hours, i couldn't be happier. i don't know if i'll do danskin again or not, but i had the absolute best time ever today.
