One more thing I forgot to mention...
When fighting the winds of the outbound ride, I think I had a terrible grimace on my face. I know I was growling or going," Gaaahhhhhrrr!" at one point. The race leaders started passing by in the other direction, already past the turnaround. One guy gave me a huge sh*t eating grin and yelled, "DAY-WEH!!!"
Dayweh?! What the heck does Dayweh mean? Jerk, I thought.
After I reached the turnaround and escaped the headwind, I suddenly realized why that elite rider was grinning so much.
He was yelling, "TAILWIND!" At that point, I felt like grinning, too.

Congratulations!!!
I loved your report. Way to go on pacing the run. And way to go on the bike! That's awesome that so many people in the race were cheering you on. I agree, your hair is very cute, and I can't believe how good it looks after doing a triathlon. I look like crap after doing and sort of exercise.The best part about going up hills is riding back down!
