Hi Honey-

Thanks for trying to wait for me during the race! I'm impressed you really thought I'd be THAT close behind you! Next time I'll leave the make up mirror and blow dryer out of the transition area.. Looking forward to the next race- Since this one didn't kill me and I actually finished, I think I am hooked.. But, honey, step away from the computer- It does not give you unlimited purchase requisition approval!

Thanks again for the support!
