You ladies rock!! This is the first time I've had enough time on a computer since I left home over a week ago to log onto TE. I'm glad you found my race report on the blog!

You have no idea how much I appreciate the support from all of you. It really does make a difference.

I had a lot of fun at this race. The run segment was fantastic, even with the first 5 miles being pretty ugly. The last 5 were great. The competitor in me took over completely and I was reeling them in.

Denise - thank you for your advice, I did have my lip balm. I did see you at the finish and it was great. You didn't surprise me at all, I was just happy to see you. It was great to meet you, I love your shop and the shirt you gave me is fantastic. I've been wearing it since I got up on Monday. I'm wearing it here in Moab as we speak.
