Buckeye Lake Trek Women's Tri (long)

[GLC1968]

Awesome, Oak! And VERY impressive ranking there at the end, too!

Yes, the question remains, did you have a good time?

Now that I remember how much it's supposed to hurt, I don't even know if I want to do foot races any more.

Just kidding. Honestly? I enjoyed it enough that I'll probably do this one again next year, or if there's another sprint not too far away - but not enough that I'd go too far out of my way, or seriously train for one. Only as a lark. I'm okay with that.

Awesome, Oak! Wasn't it fun? You did a great job! Very impressive times.

Way to mix it up.

Congratulations!

Hey! I was at that race!

I managed a time of 1:32:36, and my goal was 1:45 or so, since this was my first open water swim in a race and I wasn't sure how quickly I could manage the 750 meters. Congratulations on your awesome times!

Wow, I wish I'd known you were going to be there! Way to go, that's a great time. (and you will notice you swam a full three minutes faster than I did LOL)

Do we get a writeup? How did the weather work out for you? Hope you didn't get wet on the bike (if you didn't want to) - some of the pictures look miserable!

[OakLeaf]

Piccies. Yes, I do look as bad as I felt at the finish.

Also, my lucky lei actually works, according to the Newspaper of Record.

I am currently studying for a big exam tomorrow, so I might get to a writeup sometime soon.

Which wave were you in? I made a swim buddy (who I lost before the first buoy.. oopsie) and had a "rabbit" to leapfrog with on the bike - I was the stronger climber, but she could sneak ahead in the flats and give me more of a boost to catch her). The rain started in the last couple miles on the bike for me, and I got totally drenched on the run. It actually ruined the shirt I got from the race, since the safety pins left rust stains on it (I forgot my race belt and for some dumb reason they were requiring the front numbers for the run.. grrr). Oh well!

Are you doing any more tris this year?? I'll hopefully be doing that one again next year, especially if I can enter it for $1 + $3.25 in service fees again!
