Sorry ladies... I was out of town from Friday until today- Tuesday.

I have bad news... I was a DNS...

Race cancelled due to rain

Yep. It started to POUR DOWN RAIN... right when the race was due to start. About 5:30 AM it started... and didn't let up until 7:30 AM. After they had decided the race had to be cancelled.

Driving in... we saw a road sign that said, "Turnaround, don't drown". It was an omen.

It totally sucks that my first Oly was cancelled. Dang it.


Now for some positive stuff:

1) Eating dinner at Dennis and Carey's house the night before. It was great meeting everyone from Beginner Triathlete.

2) Eating some really yummy food the rest of the time I was in Austin. *Rubs her big belly*

3) Being lazy and spending time with my boyfriend.

4) Not having muddy running shoes or having to ride my bike on wet roads. I was REALLY DREADING that... along with it being turned into a duathlon.

5) Not having to swim in a wetsuit or having to get in cold water.

Yea, so it sucked... but there were some positives as I see it. Now, I have a sprint June 10th (thank goodness I signed up for it!) and I'm signing up for the Ironhead Oly in July.

Time to stay focused and keep training!

Thanks for asking. Sorry my race report isn't more interesting.

Sorry to hear it was cancelled - that really sucks

that is one of my fears of doing my first one that after all this prep I won't get to do it. and we don't have many around here I can go to.

Good luck on your next one
