Subject: First podium finish!!

It seems that IM training and subsequent tapering is good for OLY distance events! I got my first podium finish today in an OLY race. I was tickled to death to take 3rd. Shocked, more like it.

And the best part: I PRed the course by over 15 minutes in 95 degree heat(2:48:17 or 18 vs 3:03:49). Apparently having a coach, logging in the time and the miles, and riding aero in the big chain ring works wonders.

It's gonna be a few days before I'm able to wipe this cheesy smile off my face.

Coldfire - 2008-06-09 9:38 AM 3rd over-all, that is bad azz!!!! Congrats on the podium!!

Thanks- it was 3rd in my AG, not overall. And I have to give props to Barqhead. She was racing Mooseman on the same day. Had she been in SC racing with me I would have been 4th. Cause she's fast that way.

But I still have the cheesy smile on my face! Will try to get the RR done today and will download pics tonight maybe.

Thank you! We didn't get medals- they gave us sweat vac visors with Festival of Flowers Triathlon embroidered on them and 1st place, 2nd place, or 3rd place (whichever you were) embroidered on the side. I wore it all day yesterday. Wanted to wear it to work but it's not office casual.
