Well, I did it!   My first triathlon!!!!! I am hooked!

My swim felt kinda like ...it was amazing that they only had 2 of us per lane but the wait was absolutely unbearable!

T1- OMG...a shock of cold running outside in my swim suit but the biggest kicker- though very funny- was that some snow was melting and the stream was directed right at my set up. Result...tights that were soaking wet! I was in absolute disbelief and had no idea what to do- luckily my run coach was close by and I screamed at him for his advice. I ended up wringing them out and putting them on. sigh....

Bike was . While there were some cold head winds at times, I felt fantastic even with soggy pants.

T2- felt fast but must do more practice as I forgot to tighten the Yanks until I took a few steps. oops.

Run was ... as it was a good push to try to find my pace but I was happy with my effort.

If you care to read more...race report is up. Thanks for your support gang! YOU are all such an INSPIRATION!  

Results are not posted just yet but my watch had 1:24  (14:40Swim and 24:40Run) forgot to get my split for the bike, and I know T1 was a looooooong one.

Is anyone having trouble viewing Susie's training log since the switch to the new BT? With Firefox on my Mac I can't see April, but I can if I use Safari.

My time was not as good as I hoped. I dressed way too warm and should have brought something to drink (no aid station). But, it turned out to be a warm and sunny day (big change from April 1st when we had snow). Now that the days are getting longer and the weather is now getting warmer (hopefully) I will have to get out and run more and hopefully improve my time. Next race is in June (10K)

How did everyone else do? Hope everyone had a great weekend.

i ran again. i am starting to feel a littl bit more like my self. yay! i decided that i am only going to allow myself to drink diet coke on the days that i run. that way i'll either run more, or conserve coke. LOL BUT i ran today, so i get coke.

Ok, I give up ! You guys, where the he!!  is my control panel button ?
Seriously, where is it ?...................

run_yc_run - 2009-04-06 1:00 PM Well the results are up and unfortunately they don't have specific T1 and T2 times, if I recall the location of the mats correctly, it means that transition times are built into the bike time.

Results:
Total (173)/Female (106)
Overall place: 48/17  
Swim place: 144/88
Bike +T1/T2 place: 77/35
Run place: 9/2

Fairly obvious where I need some work! LOL 144th on my swim!  

Overall the race organization was fantastic....my only major disappointment was that some volunteers on the course were not in place by the time the racers were on the road and one member of my tri club ended up taking a wrong turn on his run which disqualified him- He likely would have ended up placing in the top 3. Hopefully they will have that fixed for next year.

Offthegrid - 2009-04-04 5:00 PM Oh, I forgot the big news! As of this morning, my BMI puts me at only "overweight" and not obese. I started at a BMI of 43.6, so that was considered mordidly obese.

Check out the "settings" icon at the top of the page and see if that gets you what you want! It's going to take awhile to figure this new format out!

maxmansmom - 2009-04-06 6:56 PM

Offthegrid - 2009-04-06 8:19 PM Today was a good day -- I downloaded "Jai Ho" from the "Slumdog Millionaire" soundtrack, and that's my current personal theme song. I love it. That movie was AWESOME, by the way. You all are assigned to see it!

NoSit - 2009-04-06 9:32 PM Okay, take a DEEP breath! Now, look above the buttons for all the stuff (Programs, Articles, Races, etc.) at the top of the page. I'm not sure what that first little icon is (circle with some colors in it), but the second icon is "Settings". If you click on that, you'll get to your control panel. Luckily, when you get there, it looks pretty much the same as before! How'd that feel? Trish
