Cheering from the Lee team

Delta Sprint Triathlon (700m pool swim, 20km bike, 5k run):  April 16th, 2011.
Finishing time 1:12:33 - Swim 12:38, Bike 38:05, Run 21:50
2nd out of 22 female age group, 6th out of 165 women and 31st out of 318 athletes.


A great way to start the tri season.  I love racing triathlons!  I felt smooth in the swim, consistent on the bike and strong on the run.  


The best part of the race though, other then placing 2nd in my age group, was that for the first time in my 5 years of racing, my mom and dad came to watch and cheer me on.  Now they know exactly what it is that I do.

running attire for the rain

Last Sunday was a pretty miserable day to run.  Rain.  Rain.  Rain.  That's okay though because whether it's rain, snow or sun, I'm prepared to run.  I put on my warmer thicker tights, wool long sleeve, thicker t-shirt and waterproof jacket.  On my head I stuck a tuque on to keep my ears warm and a hat on top of that to keep the rain out of my eyes.  I even put socks on my hands because I couldn't find my gloves.  As I'm leaving the house, my mom calls out "it's raining outside! Don't let your hair get wet.  You're going to get sick" and then throws a bright yellow poncho at me.
