smack. down.
for those of you that weren't able to attend my SMACK DOWN at the heritage park duathlon/triathlon earlier this morning..
i thought i'd inform you that..
I WON SECOND PLACE IN MY AGE GROUP, BEYOTCHES!!!
and because we all know that you don't actually *count* the people that were faster than you in the race (cuz... duh.) i might as well announce that i practically won THE WHOLE THING!
i mean taking into consideration people that are faster than you is just being a little too detail oriented, ya know?
*minutiae*
...
to be perfectly honest, i spanked that race so hard i heard rumor that they're renaming the event next year to the Heritage Park holy-shit-did-you-see-how-fast-AJ-raced-this-course-last-year Duathlon/Triathlon
i mean, officially.. ya never know.
but i hear its in the works.
the WINNERS PLAQUE that i brought home is, clearly, going to be mounted inside a UV protectant hyperbolic chamber stored 10-20 feet in the ground so that you'll need two keys, turned at exactly the same rate, to even open, so..
i mean.
its a pretty big deal.
and i just thought you should know.
>>> insert image of me here doing the shake-your-bootie-cuz you think you're-so-cool dance <<<
(more pics to come, for now this is all i have. compare to last year....)
race pics..
(okay. so maybe i was like 19th overall and got beat by a number of people that are not only faster and fitter, but probably just better at everything than me.
i care not.
things like taking home hardware happen to this chick all of never so.. i'm celebrating it to its fullest extent!!
can ya blame me?!
... i didn't think so!)

Very nice work!
I, on the other hand, did NOT place in my age group, but ...
I DID crash my bike during the race, while trying to hit my lap function instead of watching where I was going, which hopefully happens to me never again!
