Heart of the South 500

[kacie tri-ing]

Hello Ladies!

This is a bit of a brag post, but it was a really great experience, so I want to share!

Last weekend, my race partner Dani and I tackled the Heart of the South 500 (actually 517 mile) race in 31 hours and 42 minutes! We relayed for about 8 mile stretches in the beginning, and then we went down to about 5 miles each. On the climbs we went for about a mile, but we rode pretty hard.

There was only one other team in the race (male team), which we beat.

It was fantastic, hard, and a blast!

I put up a bunch of pictures on my blog (http://kacietri-ing.blogspot.com/2013/04/starting-at-finish-check-out-this-dream.html).

This was the one real race that we get to do on our way towards 2-person Race Across America on June 15th!! It's getting here fast!:eek:
