NOW… on to the fun stuff!!
Woke up Saturday ready to freakin rock it.
Kitty cat, Mari, was ready for me to get out of the house so she could party.
It was a COLD day.
And I got this message from my girl Aimswa before we left…

Maybe a bit too enthusiastic at 4:54am??
Nawwww!
All us racers getting ready for the super cold race!
Brrrrr!!

Lance did awesome, he got 3rd place in his age group for the kids triathlon! GO LANCE! |
After the kids race ended it was our turn!!
Aimswa and I trying to warm up.

The run went really well.
I saw a girl that looked pro and decided I was going to keep up with her.
AND I DID!!
Most definitively PRed again for my 5k.
23:06
The Bike.
I’m not ready to talk about it.
hahahaha
Ran into transition… threw everything off/on and around!
Noticed that I was the first to grab my bike from the rack I was on
#SCORE

OKAY then I got on the bike… well the bike and I are not friends yet.
It’s hard. Really hard.
There was a headwind on each lap going each direction… maybe not but it felt that way!!!
I just kept saying “PEDAL WITH PURPOSE” over and over again
On the 2nd lap a girl with the age “29” passed me…
I worked my butt off to stay with her…
THANKFULLY she was a lap BEHIND ME!!!
Now I could #relax?? for the swim!
I knew no one in my age group had passed me yet!
45:58
So probably 42-43 minutes once you take transition times off
The Swim.
I felt pretty good going into the water.
I knew I would do better than I did at Anthem on the swim.
I jumped in #afterstrugglingtogetmyswimcapon…
Instantly got a cramp in my right foot…
So I just didn’t kick hard, it finally went away after 100 meters
THEN I got a cramp in my toe for the next 100 meters… then it too went away.
The next 200 meters I felt comfortable and started passing people and getting into my grove.
Finished in 9:20
Not the best time for sure but it was the fastest time in my age group!
Afterwards we froze waiting for the awards ceremony!
The race was SO FUN!!!
I definitely recommend these smaller sprints, they are so fun!
Best part of the day is knowing I went out and gave it all I had.
I cannot wait for Barb’s race, but I am glad I have plenty of time to work on my cycling.
After Ragnar Del Sol, the bike is going to become my major focus. . .
I GOT THIS!!
WAY TO GO SPEEEEEEDY!!!!
Best podium picture ever!
Nice job with the 5k PR and the whole thing really!
So proud of you with all your gold medals n prs n stuff!
Awesome. Gotta love an enthusiastic triathlete.
