Well, I haven't run much since IMAZ so I was very bummed out that this turned into a Du. Very under trained so my expectations were low.

Warm down:

walked around some. Cheered on my friends.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

I've let myself get too down after my IronMan and lost most of my fitness. I just wanted to get back in the ring. I still feel bummed out that I performed so poorly.

Event comments:

Thanks for the ladies who came to our house afterwards for BBQ. We talked about triathlons and running and the future Augusta Endur. Sports Club for Women.

Next IM I need to make sure that I'm nbot so undertrained that it takes three months to recover. i know you lose some of your end over after such an intense program, but I need to try to have my base maintained more.

Congrats on the safe finish. It was a miserable day indeed. The darn truck with the boat was absolutely annoying! That truck almost hit me and others as the driver force himself out of the State Park house ..... *&^%$#@!!!!

Sorry for not making to your BBQ invite -- the soggy wet day and long drive back was a major factor for not making it to your digs.

Cheers!

Congrats!

Sorry for not making the Barbecue, but with the weather delays, and late race awards ceremony, combined with more crappy weather, and long drive back to the North Ga Mountains looming, I decided it was best to hit the road.
