Hurray! Knew you would do it. Looked for you on the I-90 bridge when we went by but didn't spot you. But you were on my mind all the way...

Thanks, guys!
Lise - no, I didn't see Jayne Williams. But I high-fived Sally Edwards today and she signed my shirt yesterday. My friend took a pic of her signing my back, can't wait to see how that turned out."If Americans want to live the American Dream, they should go to Denmark." - Richard Wilkinson

Ok, the race results are up.
Swim: 25 minutes (dang, fast for me!) I was 3098 out of 3965
Bike: 45 minutes. I was 1723 out of 3965 (guess what I'm better at?)
Run: 49 minutes. I was 3669 out of 3965 (can you tell I walked?)
Overall standing: just slightly better than the run standing, so the walk during the run cost me the most. But saved my knee.
I HAD A GREAT TIME!!!!
Can someone tell me what "pace" means? Mine was 15:57. What is that?"If Americans want to live the American Dream, they should go to Denmark." - Richard Wilkinson

Good for you for saving the knee. Very important. You must live to race again, grasshopper! Wow, there were so many people in that race! I've never been part of such a big tri. I wonder if "pace" refers to your run pace, ie, 15:57 minutes per mile?

YOU ARE A TRIATHLETE!!!!
It looks like you had a great race! Congratulations!"Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather, to skid in broadside thoroughly used-up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming: WOW WHAT A RIDE!!!!"
