Yes, I will still post my sessions from last week, but I wanted to post the results from the St. Anthony's triathlon that I did today. Do you ever wonder if it wasn't meant to be when you show up at a race? Well- this race was definitely one of those that I was ready to turn around and drive home. I picked up my race packet yesterday with my oldest son throwing-up in the car (horrible ear infection), screaming at the top of his lungs, and some very nice people to watch him while I racked my bike. This was my third year of doing St. Anthony's, and I have been training since my marathon in March. I showed up this morning to find out the swim was cancelled due to the bad conditions (and I love the swim). I forgot my large water holder for my bike, and had a horrible stomach problem that brought me to a port-o-let with no toilet paper. After spending 15 minutes in the port-o-let, with my racing suit around my ankles, begging for any stranger to bring me something that resembled toilet paper, I found some poor girl that could not even look at me in the face. I received a nice 2:00 minute penalty since I dropped my pathetic water bottle right when the USAT guys were driving by. So, yes, the race was actually enjoyable. I did not hit my goal of 8 minute miles, but I came pretty darn close. The point of this blog is to give everyone a really nice laugh- especially if you have done a race before when everything goes wrong. Julie C- I forgot to mention about us relieving ourselves before the race between the two trucks with all of the guys doing the same thing!
Check out the results- I got sixth place in the charity waive - yee haw!
