Meh. I went out faster than I should have but settled in. I ran with a friend for 2 miles so it was good. The crowd was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. I tried to talk but no one else seemed to be receptive.

Forgot to hit LAP when I got into transition. OOPS. Garmin shows a 1 second t1. Hard to beat that.

Last year I blew the doors of my prior year time and I was hoping to do the same this year. Apparently my legs are tired from my IMMT training cycle. Eyes on the bigger price though I guess. Meh. DH beat me by .02 MPH. I'll get him next year!

Good thing it was short - because it was getting HOT in the sun. 2 water stops - drank half, dumped half on me! It was nice and cold.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around, saw friends and took lots of pictures.

I was hoping to do a little better but like I said, I'm working through my IMMT training so something had to give.

To finish is to win!

Thanks kids.

and TJ the beer was from the Hooker Brewery which I'm a big fan of - however we don't drink anymore so I didn't even partake.

This year they gave pint glasses instead of medals. Meh - I'd rather have a finisher medal!

That's right...Big Picture.

.02? Only about the difference of a sneeze!

But....you can use pint glasses for lemonade and iced tea.

The word enthusiasm comes from Greek enthousiasmos or “inspiration by the presence of a god.” If you are enthusiastic about your sport, I encourage you to honor that inspiration by finding balance.
