WOW! Duh! I totally missed this race report when you posted it!

What a wonderful report! Great details! It's amazing that you made it through the race after having to heal from your shoulder accident.

You are a triathlete! Love the pictures too. Sounds like you had a solid race... and a great time.

Again, please forgive me for the late response.

there are a lot of pics of Sally, high fiving finishers with their backs to the camera in the "lost and Found" photos. You might want to look and see if they got a pic of your high five.

No problem, KSH, I miss this stuff a lot, too

Thanks! I'm glad to have made it this far. I'm looking forward to next year, don't think I'll get another in this year. At least I have a base to start from, and a time to improve on

The bum shoulder will do its thing. I'm doing some strength and flexibility exercises when I can to try to improve mobility and build up the supporting muscles in the area, even though it's still a pain all the way from my *** up to my neck and down to my fingertips. Gotta do what you gotta do

That's what I like about this sport... the off season! I like it, because you can't get burned out on training and doing tri's when there's a "forced" rest from it all.

During the winter I like to get back to weights, and this year I have made a promise to myself that I WILL RIDE when it's cold. I whimped out last year and didn't ride for a couple of months.

The bum shoulder... sucks. I had a very minor bike wreck back at the end of June... and it still hurts. I cannot breathe on my left side when I swim, because it hurts. Not that I like to breathe on that side... but if I need to... OUCH!

But my injury was nothing compared to what you probably did... so I can only imagine the pain you have had to work through. Great job completing this tri, and the training with the pain you must have had!

I don't know about you.... but I keep telling myself that next year is my year!

I bet you will have a healed shoulder... and I will be able to run again!

We'll be dangerous!

Glad you had a good time at Seattle Danskin this year- I didn't race this time, but I was one of the neoprene-covered "swim angels"... my first "client" was a woman in the third wave- so you probably swam right by us. Spent about 2.5 hours in the lake and swam the course with various women about 4 times- but that was WAY fun! I love the positive atmosphere.

Thank you for volunteering!! Couldn't have done it without you, I swam past a lot of people who were VERY grateful for the angels
