went out too fast....again! Saw terri (joe runner), scott had already finished...and became too excited....looked down and saw 7:14s ha ha! but who cares!! of course slowed down and was in awe of the super fast people on the other side of the road. caught up with some newbie ladies - yelled encouragement. capable of faster time....

What would you do differently?:

control my little self

Post race

Warm down:

warm- down? it was chilly!!! sandwich, chips, beer (actually good beer). chatted with donks kim, jim, jesse, terri, scott, bt ross, jeanne, chris, sandi, travis, stacey. chatted with several other people i knew....social hour. not used to beer as a cool down....started to get a headache - more water me thinks. awesome that jeanne, chris and pam received hardware!!!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

my focus....the big race was week before. hadn't been on the bike since and didn't really care. i just wanted to enjoy the day and be happy for the new ladies.
