GWN Triathlon

This is not a race report. I will post soon. I am feeling great today and extatic about yesterday's race. My biggest success of the day was that I had no shin pain (ie. from my stress fracture) and no IT band pain like last year.

I swam strong, biked hard in the head wind and ran almost as fast as I did last year (except I took more walk breaks this year due to the heat) with having 10 weeks off of running.

Here are some pitures for now (as for the picture of transition - I am in there if you look carefully at the first rack; I am wearing purple and orange; I am bent over trying to get off my wetsuit!).


Race report to come!

Getting into my wetsuit - it takes so long!

The swim start - always chaos.

Into transition and out on the bike! I love the bike!

The final stretch of the run - I felt so strong!
