Congrats, V!!!
You did exceptionally well, considering you're only swimming in races and have only biked 750 miles this year. WOW!
You're a super stud- and the pictures are amazing (as always).
Congrats, superstar!!!Check out my running blog: www.turtlepacing.blogspot.com

Those pictures are awesome!
That bike improvement is huge! I have to say riding my tri bike has really made me want a road bike that rides that nice, reading your report doesn't help.
Sounds like we'll be starting a running for non-runners club this fall for all of us who lose it on the run. 
All in all, a great race! Congratulations.

I'm really glad I went the race road bike route. I'd worry about never getting comfortable enough to really fly on the curvy downhills the way I do now. I'm sure I'd be faster on the straight, flat parts with a TT bike, but I'd miss the "wheee!!!!!" factor.

You know, one can never have too many bikes.

I really love that we're a forum full of enablers. Originally Posted by Veronica

Never underestimate the "wheee!!!" factor! It's certainly a rush. Originally Posted by Veronica
