Today I kicked butt at the oly! 3:17. Pr'd by 3 minutes (and last time I did it I was 20 lbs lighter than I am now).
32 min. .9 mile swim
1:27 25 mile bike
1:13 run (actually better than I was hoping for with the crazy heat)
4 min. of transitions and some change- need to work on that!
The race was GREAT! I was very tired this morning from racing and volunteering yesterday, but once the race got started I got in my groove. I killed the swim and bike- just need to get better at running (although I don't think that will ever happen and I'm OK with that). Running has always been the bane of my existence.
thanks for the good vibes. So glad I'm back at it. I didn't realize how much I missed it.

You know I use to think that too. But I'm proof you can make yourself a runner. Originally Posted by Tri Girl

Catching up on old news, but I'm glad to see you're back and more importantly having fun.

Hey Colby! Been wondering how you are.
