kenj's group closed, training hard and having fun!! (Page 26)

Here is Kerianne in T2 - I sure wish I looked this good coming off the bike!

With such a low number (24 on her arm) she must be REALLY good

Alright guys first race of the season is in the books..Looks like I finished with a time off 2:44:49...27th out of 61 in the 40-44 age group..I will let you know when I get my RR up...Overall had a good race and good time just disappointed in my swim leg it was brutal I was a total of 8 minutes of my pace...didn't help that it ended up being wetsuit legal and I don't have one in my bag yet...Plus it was reported by several races that the distance was around 1.10 miles and should have been .93 miles..Oh well it is over and in the books,we learn from it and move forward..

 194th Overall          Swim  38:54 T1 1:17  Bike 1:12:37 20.7 avg  T2 1:08   Run 50:54  8:13 pace  Total: 2:44:49

Daddy was super happy she got the 24, he's a Jeff Gordon fan. 40 kids in her wave, a pool swim with 10 seconds between each kid - she passed two BOYS in the water and the swim was only 50 meters!

I have to say I was a bit surprised to see 8 and 9 year old kids on Scott tri bikes wearing pointy helmets! Jinkies! There were a few Felts and Figi's as well. She did great on her Trek hybrid. A few months ago after she got her bike and named it Chrissie we sent Chrissie Wellington a note and she sent Kerianne an autographed picture of herself racing on the bike. When Kerianne saw this pic she said "That is the one I want to send to Chrissie, I owe her a picture of me" LOL

Just finished my local 5k run today.  Ran it in 27.02 which is almost 3 minutes faster than my 5k time last year!!!!

Very jazzed right now. I didn't know how fast I would be able to run as I didn't taper and had a 2 hour ride yesterday. I was hoping to go under 29 minutes - so very very happy! Yeah!!!!

Way to go!

So for some good news and not so good news.  Not so good news first.

Brian (significant other) was laid off on Thursday, the day before we were going to hand our inspection report with a list of corrections to the buyer of the home we were going to purchase. It was a real blow but at least we hadn't closed on the house before this happened. That would have been very very bad.

Now for the good news.  I ran a 5k yesterday with some friends and did my best time in a very long time. My Garmin had the distance at 3.19 but either way my first two miles were definately faster then I have been doing. I was really pushing and had that "I think I am going to puke" feeling close to the finish. At least that feeling was due to working hard and not the crazy GI issue I have.

It is a gloomy day here today and I need to get some work done (taking work home stinks but I have a deadline to meet) but my plan is to get a run in and hit the weights. Someday I will get myself to the pool.

Happy Sunday All!

Alright friends my race report is up.Just completed it after I finished a 76 mile bike today with a 19.5 average..Recovery ride (lol)

Hope all is well..
