    Ooh when is the race, is it Sunday? I'm totally out of sync here with time zones and what not, will read to try to find out.

    Anyway, good luck KSH, you've worked so hard I'm in awe, I mithered all the way up the climb on my trail race today before I finally kicked my own butt and started enjoying it, hope you enjoy yours from the off, do not let any negativity in, its poisonous.

    Thanks for all the well wishes and good vibes ladies!

    I ROCKED IT TODAY!

    Total race time: 7:11:30 (the seconds are not exact, but who cares).

    That's right, beat my time by 49 minutes!

    I'll type up a full RR and post it up later. Pictures? Well, my camera's battery died after he took 2 pictures of me in the water. Sucks!!!! But some of my friends out there took pictures of me so I might have those.

    Boyfriend was great though. Really helped me out and cheered me on. He even had a shirt made, "Suck it up buttercup! (Go Karen)". How sweet... huh? He has 6 more to pass out at my IM. HA!

    In closing, I would like to say I LOVED THE RACE! I had a great time, was never miserable and really enjoyed the distance. I felt that the swim and bike were easier than the Olympic I did. The run... eh... the walk was just about the same but longer. I truly had fun doing it.
