<span style="font-size:medium;"><span>Woohoo! My first tri trophy!</span></span><br><span style="font-size:medium;"><span>Injured foot! Had a relay with Green Eggs and Ham to run!</span></span><br><span style="font-size:medium;"><span>I'm not sure of EXACT times as I haven't looked them up and glanced at the sheets at the race site.</span></span><br><span style="font-size:medium;"><span>Short Story:</span></span><br><span style="font-size:medium;"><span>Swim-400y. Shallow water for a long time. I started swimming when it made sense to swim. Others kept wading. I got stuck. I did a lot of a$$ grabbing, kicking and punching. Run off the beach-I thought I was gonna puke...I always feel that way in transition.</span></span><br><span style="font-size:medium;"><span>There was a bit of a run...the timing mat was at transition...so beach run, sidewalk run timing mat=7:51.</span></span><br><br><span style="font-size:medium;"><span>t1=1:27 I think. I hate when people walk their bikes...I again got stuck.</span></span><br><br><span style="font-size:medium;"><span>Bike: 13 miles. It was more like 13.75, but who's counting?</span></span><br><br><span style="font-size:medium;"><span><span style="font-size:medium;">Took a mile or 2 to catch my breath. The 13 mile sign was WAY before the end.</span></span><br><br><span><span style="font-size:medium;">A few hills. LOTS of passing folks...got passed by only a handful. 42 Minutes and Change.</span></span><br></span><br><span style="font-size:medium;"><span>T2= Heather and I practiced chip handoff pre-race...she stripped it off me, put it on and ran! (don't know time!)</span></span><br><br><span style="font-size:medium;"><span>Run: Hehe. Heather took off like a Rockstar! Heather put her chip on wrong. We had an odd orange strap. It was wet when she took it from me. She got to mile 2. Volunteer told her she was missing her chip. She ran back a HALF mile, picked it up, put it on, ran to the finish. She woulda gotten 27 minutes, but it turned into 31.</span></span><br><br><span style="font-size:medium;"><span>No biggie.</span></span><br><br><span style="font-size:medium;"><span>Race results up! We got THIRD! YAY!</span></span><br><span style="font-size:medium;"><span>Then Mr. Tithers pointed out if we didn't lose the strap on the run, we would've won the relay. Teehee.</span></span><br><span style="font-size:medium;"><span>Next time!</span></span><br><span style="font-size:medium;"><span>(We woulda won by at least 2 minutes). <span style="color:#FF0000;"><b>QN-Mr. Tithers felt bad about that! He apologizes!</b></span> I don't care! I now have a trophy on the mantle! YAY!!!!!!</span></span>
