Hi Guys,
Hope your season have been a great one.  So I finish my season with sprint triathon (kokopelli tri) two week ago and a marathon this past saturday (st. george marathon - utah) that I sign up back in april. 

The kokopelli I came in second place in my division and improved 3 minute from last triathlon (st george tri - same exact course) back in may.

The marathon suck I had hope a 5:30 finish, ended up @ 6:29.  I have a lot of excuses, but the main one was under trained (my longest run was 16 mile and that was 5 week ago).

I'll get the race report asap.

I know your season isn't over, but want to share what I'm planning for next season.  century bike ride, 3 local triathlon in my area, half triathon, couple half marathon (no full marathon next year).

Thanks and you all are awesome!!

Congrats on a strong Tri finish.  And congrats on completing the marathon!

I'm into cyclocross season now, and while I completely suck compared to everyone else, save a couple of girls I can actually beat.  I'm having a blast and improving my technical skills(which need a TON of work!) with every race. 

End of tri season landed on a bad note.  I was signed up for one last tri, and I couldn't bring myself to get on the bike.  I had a cross race that afternoon and I had a really bad feeling about the course.  The whole event was extremely unorganized and about 80% of the racked bikes were hybrids.  Now, I'm not a complete bike snob or anything, but it just had me worried that the course wasn't meant for a road bike so when it started to rain, I swam and I left! 

Of my first 4 cross races, it took me until this weekend to not feel like puking on the start line.  I've finished DFL once, DFL ahead of only DNFs once and 2nd to last twice.  But each time I finished and it's taking me longer to go a lap down. 

My 10K is coming up and I've run the distance and then some in training.  I'm going to be fine, but with cross season, I'm not getting in as many training runs as I had planned.  But still cycling and hot laps are extremely difficult for me!

I also bought my plane ticket for Florida to do the Disney princesses' half marathon in Feb 2011!  I haven't signed up for the race yet, but I will, real soon! 

Next year, I plan to continue tris and step up the distance to an olympic, and get back to trying to have a kid again.  It's been a long and hard healing process, but losing all this weight(over 50 lbs!) has really helped.  I have 15 more to go, and am sort of stuck right this minute. But slowly but surely, I'm getting back on track with my diet.  My eercise has been phenominal but racing has sort of forced me to rest more than I ever intended!

Here is my race report to kokopelli.

Hey Guys!! 

Getting psyched for tri season which is right around the corner.  Trying to get a jump on the season and pick up a wetsuit.  I'm torn between a 2xu and a blueSeventy.  I'm not limited to just these choices, but I am looking for opinions on the brands.  Any opinions here?

How was the winter?  Ready for another season? 

Thanks,
Carly
