True story about Copenhagen:  the statue of the Little Mermaid (pre-Disney) in the harbor has a replacement head because somebody stole the original.  She's a Franken-Maid and there's a mermaid head on somebody's shelf somewhere.

Wow, that was singularly the worst Oly 10k run that I've done.  Ended up cruising at 11:00/mi for a 1:04:57.  I shouldn't have run that slow. I was in better shape than that. I didn't have any nutrition with me, and I was only taking water on the run.  I think that really hurt me.  I don't think I went too hard on the bike.

Yikes, it was an experience.

Glad I did it, though.

I do have to say that the venue was super gorgeous.  Lake Erie was beautiful, and as flat as a pancake; no waves to speak of.  I need to get back up there so that I can enjoy it a bit more.

WHY did you people let me sign up for that? OMG IT WAS BRUTAL! LOL

I was doing fine until the run when I mentally and physically fell apart. Full race report to follow but thanks for the well wishes everyone.

I'm glad that's over

Oh, and happy birthday Erin! Sad you weren't able to make it. Although, perhaps not having to run up that beast was the best birthday gift of all time?
