Congratulations to you too!!!
I was in one of the middle lanes at the swim and collided only once with my swim mate. She came too close and I kicked her by accident - Ouch! Sorry!
In the transition I didn't have my towel out either but I decided to pull on my socks. In training I tried before to run without socks - not a good idea! So the bike was not bad.
The run was hard... especially that last hill at the end! I had to walk that one, my left knee was complaining. After that I was able to run again. The funny part was, my son had gathered his fellow team mates at the end of the run and they were all cheering me on... That was so great, I actually sprinted up to the finish line! I don't know who was prouder, my son or I???
Did you get sunburn as well? Darn, I somewhat underestimated the sun and completely forgot to put on sunlotion... not good!
I haven't decided on future races yet, but the one in July in Orangeville looks pretty good, so I'll probably do that one too. Otherwise, we'll see. My husband and my son race as well, so I have to do a bit of planning.
Ha, I slept like a baby too! The whole family was in bed shortly after 9:00 pm yesterday! Blown out like a candle, ha, ha!
By the way, the C3 in Inglewood have open-water-swim training in a quarry nearby and also in Innislake in Bolton. Maybe you are interested?
See you!
