Way to go Girl. Cold always slows you down cause your body has to send energy into keeping you warm. You did awesome - I'm impressed and yes, the altitude can kick your butt too!

You did awesome - both in this race and what you accomplished throughout the year. I am in awe. Anyone who started this race is a champion in my book - you made it there, braved the horrid conditions, then you went and finished in the top 1/2 of your AG at altitude against girls who live at altitude. Congrats

Wow! Incredible race in incredibly freeeeezing conditions.
My friend, Desiree, did that race also. Her story of the race was incredible. Certainly an experience to remember.
Your feet must've been sooooo cold. I can't imagine hopping on the bike soaking wet in those cold conditions. She said the bike course was incredible (albeit a little scary with the 6000 foot drop off the side of the mountain and all) and the downhills were wicked.
Oh, and she said the pre-race and post-race meals were incredible (salmon? wow). They treat you national champions well!
Wow, wow, wow! I'm just soooo impressed with you (and DH)!!!!
Can't say enough about how proud I am that you hung with the big girls this weekend. What an amazing experience. How sweet that they gave a shout out to your mom. You know she's beaming with pride up there.
I know it was stressful before you left- was it all worth it???

Hey, that is wonderful. Been checking for news from you off and on all week. Here's to you and to your mom too.

Brrrr. Can't have been fun getting into or out of that water! Well done.
Drink coffee and do stupid things faster with more energy.
