WOW! what a Day! I am lucky that it was a small field. : ) I was able to place 2nd in my age group. we tried to take pictures of the results. They didn’t come out the best. But I do have this cool picture!

COACH JUDY!!!!!!

she is AMAZING! and I am lucky really lucky to have her on my team. so thank you Judy. I wish I was faster I wish all my turns would have been perfect. but a 7:40 on my injured arm is ROCKEN! and so I am okay with that….

a 33:43 on my bike (10 miles HILLY!)… and a 34:02 on my run (3.1 and a hilly trail run) Makes for a  1:17:04.1 or there abouts.

Now mind you that swim time…  is swim and transition. so is the run time. : ) bike time is strickly bike. NICE RIGHT!?!?

I am ready to sign up for this one again ! RIGHT NOW! it was the best…a nd I am so happy with myself. I thinkt he transition time is wrong on my swim. but all is well. I will get it next time. i have alot of improvement to make … I CAN DO IT!

Thank you for listening to my tired ramblings of the day…

Miss Anna. my ROCK she came in second behind Cori in thier age group.  Sandra she cam in 10th in my group… Miss America came in 13th in hers! and her momma 4th in hers. Americas daughter came in 6th in her age group. one of my swimmer boys came in 3rd…. than another gal Mrs. K she came in 3rd behind me and her kids came in 8th (girl) and 6th (her boy)… those are allt eh ones in my mind… and I am SO PROUD OF THEM ALL! when i get the results in the paper tomorrow. I will make sure that you get the link…

today supposed to be a 5 mile run…. as I have stated I did that earlier in the week so that I could do Just the 3.1 in the tri this morning.

What are your funny things you have to do before a race? mine are silly. I get up early 0500 race starts at 1000 But I know I have to be there to see my kids swim at 0830. I take a shower it is the first thing I do. I am the kinda girl that HATES to shave my legs. and I mean that with all my being. Those legs could wait a year or two and it wouldnt bother me. But my pits. well those and other things MUST be done. But on race day, I get up ubeer early so that I can sit in the shower and shave those legs. you see the hair on said legs could slow me down in the water. : ) I know that is not all true. But it is something that i have done since my frist race in high school. than we let it grow untill regions. and ALL OF US got personal best times. : ) that and we took first place. : )

so Today I got up took my shower layed ont he bottom with the hot water beating on me visualizing. something my coach taught me in high school. and you know when you visualize the perfect race… it doesnt always happen. and that is okay with me. So I visualize bad stuff, and how I overcame it. and I have noticed when I am out ther racing that HELPS. I already have it figured out IF something happens. and that is a great thing to have. : )

There is a group of our swimmers taht are going to be doing the kids tri today. and I am looking forward to it. our 8 year old star will be there. and my best friends little (10) and Mrs. M’s Kids (7) and (10) I think… will be there and little Miss K’ will be there… and so many more. I am looking forward to it. It is so neat to see them out there tri’ing something new… and what a cool sport to get into . : )

So there will be another update after the race. not sure about results and how that will go. But when I get them. you will have them. PROMISE!

I am off to pick up one of the teenagers to help dad with the kids. get some batteries and get back home to pack up. see you on the FLIP SIDE!
