So between the intial results posted and the final results I dropped a minute or so.  Final results:  2:39:46.  PR by almost 20 minutes.  Really wanted to get in under 2:30:00, but I had what can be described as well........ a horrendous swim.  Waves were big and I haven't ever dealt with that before.  So a 33:15 swim. Not a horrible day other than 2 huge blisters on the bottom of my right foot.

karen26.2 - 2012-04-29 7:57 PM I had a good race, 2:44:5x, 6th in age group I think. Results not posted yet. Fun fun day.

just finished watching the Roswell Criterium, saw the pro women (I wanted to be riding in the pack), and the pro men just finished. Crazy fast riding. Couple of bad crashes, one guy taken away on stretcher. Hit his head and he was very disoriented. Hope he's ok. Awesome to watch.

carrie639 - 2012-04-30 12:20 AM Excellent! Congrats! 6 th in AG is awesome!

carrie639 - 2012-04-28 6:18 PM 2:24:03, 13 minute PR ----------- Thanks everyone! It was a tough race for me. I will do race report later, but summary ... Kelly sent me out at ~10:30 pace (2:16 ish finish) and held that pace pretty close for about 7-8 miles (which was was hard). There were quite a few rollers (flat by most people's standards) at mile 6 that just did me in, so by 8 onward there was ALOT do running/walking going on. While I still had almost a 13 minute PR, I was very disappointed in not doing better (yes, beating up on myself). I still have a lot to learn ... Hamstring which has nagged me for a few weeks was nagging most of the race and calf cramps threatened at the end ... Major limiter I think is that all my longs runs have been done on very flat profiles, so I was not ready for a lung run with a lot of elevation changes, even if small changes

I'm still struggling with breathing issues today.  I hate bronchitis. 

Hoping everything clears up by the weekend, I would like to race well for my first tri of the season.

jarvy01- 2012-04-30 9:54 AM I was wondering if we could talk a little about the flying mount/dismount.  I've never done it before but thought it would be worthwhile to learn it.  Do you all do these?  Any tips for me as far as practicing this?

April is in the books.  Here was my month:

April's totals: Bike: 23h 27m 36s  - 434.59 Mi Run: 8h 10m 04s  - 48.53 Mi Swim: 7h 46m 14s  - 26793.53 Yd Strength: 3h 00m

One thing I learned this weekend is that I am not a sprinter.  Never will be.  I left my lungs out on mile 2 of a 5k run.  Anyway, now I'm having pain when I take a deep breath.  I don't have a fever anymore, but I am coughing up gross stuff, and I am having lung pain when I breathe.  Throat hurts a little, too.  I'm crossing my fingers that this isn't another lung infection (I started Advair for my asthma 2-3 weeks ago, and it wouldn't be unheard of to get some sort of infection).  Best case scenario would be another round of bronchitis (pretty common for peeps who struggle with asthma).  I will most likely be making a trip to the doctor's if things don't look up in the next couple days.
