Woo hoo Teigyr!!!!I'm so proud of you (putting in sub 10 min/mi on the run is very impressive in my book)!
The pictures are GREAT! You look great, strong, and the last pic of you guzzling is hilarious! Way to go!!!

Thank you
Of course as I was feeling all grand about the sub 10 minute mile average, I met up with a guy as I was riding today and he did a tri (a hard one) and averaged 7 minute miles. Oh well.
I thought the chugging picture was pretty funny. I remember trying to drink very quickly because it was hot and I was about to go out for my run. DH stuck the camera in my face
In retrospect, I'm glad I chugged because there was only one water stop (I guess for 3.1 miles you don't need too many) and I hadn't really had much water on the bike.
I keep coming to see who all posted. I know quite a few people raced this week
Jes, at least you did ok on the swim? And you never know with the run. SO many factors can make it be less than fun. I was worried about you because of the problems you had the other week.
Wahine, I keep looking at your tri to see if I can find results Nothing yet.
Knot, you should seriously think about doing this tri next year. It was so low-key and fun. There were probably less people there than what will be in one Danskin wave.
jocelynlf, I had to WORK today. Grrrr. It's ok, I got up early so I could ride a bit. I'm looking out the window and am feeling a bit forlorn.

You did great!! And it was just a tune up race. And you were thinking of not even doing it!! I'm so happy for you. Sub 10 min miles is a big deal!! Almost 16 mph with very little bike training is also a big deal!! And the swim went off without a hitch.
