3.6 Seconds - A Race Report

[blumensh]

First I have to say that I take issue with this statment

The old ladies (women 36 and higher)

I am 36 and not an old lady LOL!

Second you did great! Wow 3.6 seconds from 1st that is incredible but I can imagine that you are going through everything you could have done to make up those 3.6 seconds. Next time you'll get it but a great job non the less!!!!!

Way to go! I totally understand that those few seconds hurt now! Just more to think about while you are training for your next race!!! Congrats!

Excellent! That 3.6 seconds is painful, but second place is still very good.

OMG, 3.6 seconds? Wow, that's tough! I was beat for first in my div in my last race but it was by over 4 minutes, so I felt better that I wasn't even close.

That's a great report and you did a great job...placing be damned!

3.6 seconds, that is totally cool, but I am glad you put on the sun screen, a couple of years ago in a tri in Miami, my mother who was watching the transitions from bike-run said I was the only person of about 1000 who put on sun screen...hahahaha, but I still would, even if I come in 3.6 seconds behind. It is also 3.6 less wrinkles!

Thanks, everyone! The race pics came out today and there is a nice one of me on the bike that I will be using for the plaque. In the run photos, I look like I am working very hard. I'd prefer it to look a bit more effortless than that! Oh, to grin like Chrissie Wellington.

TriBogota, you made me laugh!
