all about the pink

Mermaid is such a pink race. Pink finisher shirt, pink race bib, pink swim cap, pink balloon arch at the finish line. I blame Judith who sent an email to the organizer after the last mermaid event and complained about the green finisher tshirt. Judith does not do green.

Anyway, Elaine managed to sleuth out our results and this is how I did:

My time was 1:20. In my age group I was 14 out of 36, and overall I was 105 out of 214. Right smack in the middle again.


Broken down it looks like this:

Swim: 10:07
T1: 3:04
Bike: 35:22
T2: 1:47
Run:29:45

I'm annoyed at myself for the first transistion, my bike helmet came unclipped, and I had to rethread it. I've got to remember to check my equipment before the race. So I have three (possibly 4) more tris this summer. I think I can improve my swim time and my run time by the end of the summer. I might actually try training.

Excuse me Lizzie, I happen to LIKE the green t-shirt. Remember, I said it was just what I needed for St. Patrick's Day? It was the size that was the problem. Although, to be fair, I e-mailed them and suggested PINK which is a very princess-y color yeah?

training is what I say I'm going to do right before I blow off masters swim class to go mountain biking. :)

What??? 3 more tris? You are crazy girl! That's a lot of tris for hating to swim and ride a road bike ;)

Well, she's got the mt. bike at Lake Almaden, then there's Pacific Grove, where she will do the sprint distance because its also a mt. bike one, then there's the See Jane Tri one because I'm trying to talk her into it so right there you've got at least 3. 2 of them involve mt. bikes.
