SWBKRUN fast, furious, and closed (Page 77)

Swam my 2k ocean swim this morning, quite a big swell so the buoys were further out than usual and it looked like a big swim from the shore.

Anyway, the Garmin said 2.36km and I had a nice steady swim finishing in 48 minutes. My parents were at the finish line which was a surprise and I met with a few friends for brekky at the surf club after which gave us a panoramic view of the 1km swim whilst we stuffed ourselves with bacon and eggs and coffee...

It's raining heavily now so I'm really hoping tomorrow clears up for part 2 of my weekend, the Century Cycle ride. I only started riding last October so this is my first Winter and I don't possess any waterproof or longsleeved cycling gear. Could be a long day

PS GO JOHN!!!!!!!

Congratulations, David! That sounds so awesome! Especially the breakfast! YUM!!! Fingers crossed for clear skies for you tomorrow!!

I am home and following the Formerly Fat man! Had fun today. Waiting for splits. I was 47th OA and 5th in AG. (There may have only been 5 of us, I'll have to look). My friend Jen said I had a get swim time so I am looking forward to seing that. John would be ashamed of me as I think my transitions were slow.

Lost my RoadID in the swim melee.

Unofficial total time was 1:40:26 (1000m, 17 mile, 5K).

John is through the first leg of the bike:

Go fatty!

Steve- glad to hear things are improving... keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers.

Great job, David and Doug! Congrats!!!

Looks like John is doing awesome out there! Go, John, Go!!!

Have fun racing with your girl, Kyla! I hope all the sugar doesn't cause her any trouble.

I'm working on becoming a triathlete again, plus I love and miss you guys... if you'll have me back, I'll post a short bio for the newer folks on Monday.

John is doing great!!!!

And my daughter is amazing!!!!!!! She rocked her first 5K, coming in around 32:23. Awesome! She was the first girl to finish from her school (out of 3rd to 5th graders -- she's in 3rd grade).  I harped and harped on her to hold back early on and she was perfect. She flew up the first hill like crazy, the felt it a bit at the top. We took 2-3 short walk breaks, but ran up all of the hills. This girl oozes love and affection and she was saying the nicest things out there -- I made it a point to remember them but now I can't. Doesn't matter, the message was always the same (how lucky she is to have me, how even Seattle is smaller than her love for me, etc.). Around 2.7 miles we were at 28:00 and she said, "I really want to finish by 30 minutes!" I told her that wasn't happening. At 2.9 miles I told her, "Now is the time to leave it all out here. If you have anything in you, let it all out." ZOOOM! She was off and I was not staying with her, ha!! She raced it all the way in to the finish and was just spent at the end. GOOD GIRL!! 

I am the super-duper proud mama today!!!
