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.
