LIFE TIME TRIATHLON

TODAY WAS THE LIFE TIME TRI.
HOLY BUCKETS.....WAS THIS A BIG TRI. 3100 TOTAL ATHLETES TOOK PART. I WISH I HAD REMEMBERED MY CAMERA CUZ I WOULD HAVE LOVED TO TAKE A PICTURE OF THE TRANSITION SITE (for those of you that don't follow triathlons, this would be the place where the athletes transition from the swim to the bike to the run)....CUZ MAN WERE THERE A LOT OF BIKES.
ANYWAYS.
WE TOOK PART IN THE OLYMPIC FEMALE RELAY. I DID THE 1 MILE SWIM IN 40 MINUTES....AND ALL I HAVE TO SAY IS IT WAS A LONG WAY TO SWIM. I FELT GOOD FOR 25 MINUTES OUT OF THE 40 IT TOOK ME AND ONLY THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO DROWNED ONCE WHEN A DUDE WITH A BRIGHT ORANGE CAP ON DECIDED THAT HE WAS TO LAZY TO SWIM AROUND ME SO SWAM OVER ME INSTEAD. AFTER I WAS UNDER WATER FOR A SPELL AND THE DUDE DIDN'T MOVE OFF ME....I DECIDED ELBOWS TO THE STOMACH WOULD BE AN APPROPRIATE WAY TO GET HIM OFF. HE DIDN'T EVEN STOP- AND I SORT OF FELT ABUSED. SARA DID THE 25 MILE BIKE PORTION AND AMIDST THE WIND PULLED IN A SOLID RIDE AT 1 HOUR 25 MINUTES. SHE SEEMED HAPPY WITH HER PERFORMANCE. AT THIS POINT IN THE RACE WE WERE 12th OUT OF 20 RELAY TEAMS IN OUR AGE WAVE. KRISSIE DID THE 6.2 MILES AND TOTALLY KICKED BUTT AND BROUGHT US FROM 12th TO 6th. SHE RAN IT IN 47 MINUTES, WHICH IS A 7:40 MINUTE MILE. WOW....SHE'S FAST!
OVER ALL A SOLID PERFORMANCE BYE TEAM NWC (that was our team name). WE ALL SEEMED TO BE HAPPY, AND HAD A GOOD TIME.
I WILL ADMIT RELAYS ARE FUN, BUT DOING THE WHOLE THING BYE YOURSELF IS ALOT MORE SATISFYING. I HOPE TO ENCLOSE SOME PICS WHEN JASON AND JOEY (friends of ours that came to support us) SEND ME THE PICS THEY TOOK WITH THEIR PHONES. TIL THAN- GET OUTSIDE AND GO FOR A SWIM, A BIKE RIDE OR A JOG. GOOD TIMES!!!!!!!!!!!!!
