Winter Park #3

What a great day. I got to race with Mike and my brother John. The day was hot and there was 3300 feet of climbing. I race against some pretty amazing girls. I will look for a top 10 finish next year when I am buff and super strong. For now, I am just stronger than I have ever been and that's ok for now. Everyone needs a starting point. I came in at 1:51:59- my goal was to be under 2 hours. I beat John by 6 seconds. Ha. So funny. I am quite sure that won't happen again. It was his first race in 11 years! And he had such a great attitude. Just wanting to get out there and enjoy the day and race hard. I am so fortunate to get to share this sport with my husband and brother.

I have a triathlon on Sunday. Again- not a priority race- but still important to me. This was my first tri last year and I want to see some improvement. But I get no downtime for this race. My rest week starts after the race. I will need it. I am feeling pushed to the max right now. And that is so cool.

And it between this and the last sentence, my two year old proudly dropped a matchbox car in the toilet. He wanted it to swim. Never a dull moment. I love it!
