First place didn't stay for the presentation I guess.
I haven't put a write up on our website yet, so if you want to see the other pictures from the day, use this link:

which one are you?
V's the one with the "freakishly strong legs" and the light blue jersey.
Where's the shot of the 3 of you spraying the crowd with champagne? And dang it where are the podium boys? :cool: There should be podium boys. :)
I'm on the right, # 42.
The woman on the left has a kick butt swim time. She actually was 4th, not third. We got a second trip to the podium out of that. In that photo they put me on the top can :D. But we didn't keep that one because I don't really belong there.

That's a very cool photo!! Congratulations again!!
I drink Red Bull sometimes.... does that count?;)
i'm glad you told us your number; both women are wearing light blue jerseys and have freakishly strong legs.
congrats! must be AWESOME!
Kewl! Kewl! Kewl! Keep 'em coming :D
Thanks for the photos! You look great!
Congrats! Nice to see you up on the podium. People have asked me about doing tris, but I don't swim... I marvel at those of you who do these events.
Good job!

Congratulations Veronica, you're awesome!!!!!
Congrats!!! How great to have something really cool to bring home from your FIRST real race! :D
The Tri for Fun was A LOT of fun. I'm glad I did that one first. I was a little nervous about the Tri for Real because the website made it sound so serious and I was worried it would be kind of cutthroat and super competitive with snotty people. But as I talked to other folks there, it became apparent that it wasn't like that.Quote:

I'm not sure what I'm going to do with plaque. I love that I got to stand on a giant Red Bull can. It's just so appropriate. :D

Whoo hooooooo!!
So did you wear that top under your wet suit? I'm trying to figure out if I can wear my sugoi tank under mine...
Yeah, I knew you did the Tri for Fun first - but that was "for fun"! This was a real race!! :D
I did wear that whole outfit under my wetsuit and for the bike and run. I'm wondering how the shorts will be for 56 mile ride. They were okay for 25, but not great.

You can just sort of see it poking out under my arm.

Thom keeps reminding me that I am actually racing. Apparently everyone else came out of T1 much faster than I did. He was on a corner and hoping to get a shot of me with the bike leaned way over. I looked like a little old lady, with the bike straight up. :rolleyes: We did not keep that photo.Quote:

I keep giggling at the red bull can - it's just too perfect.
Now you need a sponsor's cap to wear next time you stand on the podium. :cool:
Way to go!
Congratulations! Very cool! :D
I agree with Sundial... You do indeed look awesome and strong. There's determination in those eyes.
Again, way to go Veronica!!! :D
Congratulations, Veronica!!
Is there anything that you can't do?
Wahoo! Veronica, you're amazing! Well done on your first tri!!! Love the red bull cans!
