Just a quick update on the 2 tris in 2 weekends... I finished my first one yesterday and it went pretty well! Actually, I was quite pleased with it! I took almost 20 min off my time from last year and that was with an extra 2 miles on the bike! I think a lot of it has to do with my new bike and being more hydrated, etc... but at any rate I was so happy with the results! I saw my time and couldn't believe it!!! It was amazing to see that.. seeing everyone's results was a little damper on things... I wasn't DFL, but I was in the bottom 25 of 420 women... but I CANNOT buy into that BS-- I took 20 min off my triathlon time! And I ran almost half of it!

I'm pretty stoked about the whole thing. Onto tri 2! But first, some restorative yoga, a light swim, and maybe a massage!

Thanks again for the encouragement!!
