No pictures here, but I had a good time.

My swim was slower than 3 years ago for some inexplicable reason (didn't feel like I was swimming any slower), but both transitions and the bike and the run were faster, so overall I was about 6 minutes faster. Still slow as molasses in January, but I am who I am.

My bike average speed was my fastest ever--14.6 mph by my computer! And it was a hilly course, so I'm most proud of that. I signed up in the Athena category, so I'll be curious how I place there vs. how I would have placed in my age group.

I had a really nice massage afterwards, and enjoyed the race environment and the food and chatting with a few people. The shower at home was the best part though! My sports bra and tri suit were pretty stinky from the lake by the time I got home.
