CONGRATS!!!

Sounds like it was an AMAZING race for you!!!! 8 minutes under your goal??? AWESOME!!! You should feel so incredibly proud of yourself!!!! You beat your times you had set, you finished strong, and you did it (probably with a smile on your face the whole time). Good for you!!! I'm so thrilled that you had a great experience and it was fun!!!
Hip hip hooray!!!!
You're no longer a triathlon slug- you rocked that course!!!!

Ice- LOVE it on a hot run! I usually put some in my chest shelf (dump it down my bra) and let it melt and cool me off, or I put some in my hat or down my shorts- ice is great for everyplace on my body when it's hot .
