Here are some pics from my race last week. I can't wait to see the professional pics when they get them sorted and online. They're in no particular order- sorry.

Fabulous!!!
You look great in every one of those pics!!!
I can't wait to see the front view of you croosing the line. You looked so strong!
YAY!!! Another Iron(wo)man on the board!!!!!!
I also noted that trisports was a sponsor of the redman. I love the folks at trisports. They are right up there with Susan and the gang at TE when it comes to service. In fact I need to go visit them to have them refit me with my new aerobars. They aren't right and my lbs guy can't seem to get them tweaked right. I have faith that Rudy at trisports can do it tho!!
Anyway, thanks for sharing the pics. I always love some good race pics. Hope you are recovering well. Remember to take it easy and let your body dictate things for the next month or so.
Ciao bella!

Great pictures! I love the fact that you look HAPPY in all of them. Maybe you faked it for the camera? Naw... I bet you were loving being in the moment so much... you couldn't help but SMILE!!!

You're doing IMFL? Wow- I'm jealous! I hope you have a great race! Please tell all when you return. I think I may sign up for it the morning after for 07. I want to hear all about your race !!!!!

My skirt was originally a running skort that I cut the shorts out of (they didn't have grippies to stay down on my legs- kept riding up). I just cut the shorts out and threw the skirt on over my tri shorts. Worked good for me, and was much more flattering than my tri shorts solo (I chafe when I run, so needed the longer compression shorts).Check out my running blog: www.turtlepacing.blogspot.com

Thanks, and I will be sure to write a RR. I am really excited and the time is coming close. I'd say if you're at all thinking about it, to sign up first thing. It sold out last year in less than 3 hours! Originally Posted by Tri Girl
