Oh Yeah...

My super secret "would be cool but have no idea if I will do it" goal was to finish before the sun went down on Sunday...

That's me - with a finisher's medal around my neck - long before it got dark outside!!

I can't say "long before the sun went down" because I am not sure if it ever came up that day...

Special thanks to Maggie for the great pic and for her awesome support and cheering on race day and for my super fun goodie bag before the race!

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!"

(Most of you at least!). I'd love to know a little about who is reading my blog, what you like what you don't like, where you are from, etc. Anyone can comment at any time - you don't have to have a blogger or google profile.

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...
