Subject: RE: Patriot Half Triathlon : Official Threaditsallrelative_Maine - 2012-06-15 8:11 PM Arrgghh! We missed the dinner. Traffic was T.E.R.R.I.B.L.E...we didn't get to Cathedral Camp until 6:48 (which had me sweating bullets), and figured we just flat out missed everyone by the time we got back to town. I'm so sorry I missed everyone. On the off chance anyone is checking this before the race - I'll be in a red and black "Swim Bike Mom" kit on a Kestrel. Please introduce yourself. Best of luck to all - weather looks fantastic, course looks lovely....it will be a great day! Your 'swim.bike.mom' kit totally caught my eye- I saw you (pass me!) on the bike. Great moves ![](https://beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/images/emoticons/smile.gif) Mike - I was devastated to hear what happened to you. Casey and I think you are super awesome and he was sad for you as well. I truly do reflect back to the fact that our training is bigger than even the race. You completed that like a champ, and you can be proud of the race you were riding. Great swim time! My race went well. I can honestly say I probably could have tried harder! I'm totally OK with that though, I really enjoyed most of it, had some ridiculous things happen on the course (racing a mail truck, being attacked by a bee for one mile, meeting and talking to a guy that was not actually signed up for the race but doing it anyway, having a man in see-through shorts run by me with blaring old-timey music coming from his pocket...it goes on and on!). I came close to many B goals and I am nursing a bit of a 'hangover' headache today. Pretty good stuff. So nice to see mightymom (Christina), rudedog (Rudy), Mike D (Mike D), Kathy G and more. Also, the nerves in my hands are totally screwed from riding for 3.5 hours in the drops of my road bike...my pinkies are numb and my right thumb keeps twitching. The pinky thing has happened before so I know it will all go away. Edited by gcoller 2012-06-17 9:41 AM
