Your legs look SOO muscular! And yeah, you have that determined look on your face!!!
After this weekend I sure know how it feels to have a rotten swim!
Overall you had a good race, and you had better be proud!! (see statement above about the need for a road trip smackdown )....

Oh- and I LOVE the bike!! There is something about that Bianchi green I just love!
OK! Knowing you, you'd roadtrip it on your bike, too! Well, ya know... takes some of us a little longer to believe than others. I was such a fat kid picked last for every team for so long.

I'm going to get a copy of the pic of me in action for my mom. She took up cycling when she was nearly 60, and it's been a delight for her to watch me take it up in my 40s. She's 71 now, and doesn't really ride any more, but is still pretty involved with her local bike club. I know they'll all get a kick out of that picture. Especially her friends, Rebecca and Dave, who gave me that Schwinn in 2003, when I was training for my first tri. I needed a tetanus shot after banging my shin on the rusty pedal of that bike. I fixed that bike up and rode on it all summer. Later gave it to a friend who actually rode it in a tri (I borrowed a road bike to ride in my first tri).

I would love to just hang out with Team Estrogen. Can you imagine how much we'd laugh?
