In the Pink?
Half-marathon over. Sabbatical year over. It's back to "sacking shirt and oat cakes" as they say here.
Are you doing Barb's Race?

Yes, it's Barb's Race. This will be my first relay. I don't do running or swimming. I ventured into running for a while. Did two half marathons of "walk/running" ... but officially retired from running never to return! Why run when I can ride a bike?!
Anyway, my sister is all into triathlons, so she sucked me in. She's running and her friend is swimming.
Have you done this event before and, if so, can you tell me about the cycling portion. I read a pretty decent race report about it, but I'd like to know what the actual elevation gain is and any other comments you have about it. I know there are a lot of rolling hills and one big hill at the end.
Maybe we'll see you there.![]()

Keep bringing 'em ladies! Remember, this is a triathlon relay, so bike specific names won't work ... but cute ideas.

Why not what you said in your post - Think Pink?
You too can help me fight cancer, and get a lovely cookbook for your very own! My team's cookbook is for sale Click here to order. Proceeds go to our team's fundraising for the Philly Livestrong Challenge!
Thanks. Congrats on getting your 16 average on the bike, since that's the high end of what you were shooting for.And 3rd in your division! Awesome, girl!
Did you use a bike computer that tells you elevation gain? Do you know what it was? I'm not "too" worried about it at this point, but curious.

Ok. I guess you've got your reasons. How about "No-Car Nation" (some kinds of carnations are called pinks).

Well if it is Barb's race they are doing - a women's only HIM, the race is in honor of a multiple cancer survivor.
It's a great venue. I raced last year and will again this year.
