Tejas Triathlon

I did a short sprint in Sugar Land on Sunday. It was a 600m open water swim, 9 mile bike, and 3 mile run. I finished in 1:09 and that was good for 7th out of 41 in my age group. I don't have lots to report, but do have some good pics.

Meg did this race too and brought 3 friends along who did their first triathlon. I love when new people are introduced to the sport! I think they are all hooked because we spent all of brunch talking about where their next race would be. Speaking of brunch...bottomless mimosas sound like a great idea until you go home and take a nap and wake up at 6pm feeling like complete poo!

My head and butt match!

I always look so great when I run...not! Michelle, Me, Cameron, and Shellie after the race

I am so glad someone else can pull off the pink and look awesome doing it.

I would look like a big dork.

Rock the pink girl!

Ironman in verse

This is what I wrote and secretly put under everyone's doors tonight: The big day is almost here! Long it will be, but have no fear. You have put in miles and miles And will finish amidst numerous smiles. The hard work is over and done. Now is the time for nothing but fun. May your spirits be high throughout the day, And may nothing come along to stand in your way. Ironman is as much about the journey as the destination, And you will be rewarded for all of your determination. Hand-in-hand we will all jump in, Eagerly treading water as we wait to begin. At 7am the cannon will blast But be sure not to go out too fast. The cool water will run over your face, As you are now committed to the race. The Rural Bridge will seem so far away But keep those negative thoughts at bay. Once you turn around and head west To the Mill Ave. Bridge you go, trying your best. 2.4 miles will be over before you know it, And you will start to realize your thoughts of Iron are truly legit. On to the bike, f...

Getting To Know You

Alright, time for a little "comment love" - a term used in the blogging world meaning, quite simply, "leave a comment!" I can see I have readers from all over the world (look at the little map a little way down on the right), obviously with the highest concentration being from this area, but I don't know who you are! (Most of you at least!).

Just click on the "x comments" link below any post (x is the number of existing comments on any one post), then a box will pop up letting you type the comment. If you have a google/blogger profile you can use that, but if not, you can just click "anonymous", but be sure to sign your name or nickname or whatever with your comment. P.S. If you don't want to tell me much about yourself, or I al...
