WOW! That is so cool! It looks like a pretty place. I'm jealous that I couldn't do it -- I'll put it on my list for next year. Sounds like you all have the bug I caught last year! See you next year at some of the local tri's! And I hope that I get to see you running, SALSA!

And TEIGYR: I always start out too fast when running with a pack at a race -- even when running with someone else in general. The last 5 mile race I did, I took my i-pod and just played the same running music I trained with from the start, and it worked better. Great job -- in the top of your age group! Sounds awesome!
