so. busy.

okay okay.. so i haven't written a race report.

let me sum it up for you....

swim water was luke warm, which we all know = ew. but i felt like i swam pretty well, time-wise i came out EX.ACT.LY when i thought i would, so i'm chalking that up to a pretty alright swim.

bike was, apparently, not that bad. i friggin averaged 20.8 so either i really just worked the hills well or it was a fast course, but either way, i'm bragging about THAT speed foh-evah.

the run was all on grass which i hadn't been really happy about in the beginning, but changed my mind half way through. i actually really enjoyed it. there was a section of run called the "dont bonk" zone which seriously was like a quarter of a mile uphill...

wow. that. was. rough.

there was a chick that'd been in front of me the entire run that started to walk so i cheered her on "come on girl! we can do it!" all the way up the hill and then SMOKED her in the end!!!

hee hee!

but basically it was just really fun. jack and adams puts on a terrific event. here are some pics and i SWEAR when things settle down (which right now i can't really foresee to be anytime soon) i'll start posting again.

just know i'm loving every minute of this town, i had a date monday and two more lined up for this week, an interview tomorrow and another possible job lead for later in the week... i ran at town lake and then swam today so i'm starting to get back into the training groove and...

yeah.

things. are. good.

honestly things couldn't be better.

(well. unless a fantastic job came and landed in my lap, but you know...)

and, for any of you austinites out there... if you know of any good weekend rides, lemme know. as i total nube to the area i'm sort of playing a guessing game for where/when to ride!!

anyway, here are more pics...

me and computer guy before the big race!

me, computer guy, curly girl and singer chick... they were AWESOME spectators, it was great having friends come out for the race!

.....!!?!? i'm not sure how i got to be at such an angle, but i thought it looked kinda cool!

post race. phew, it got hot!

AND...you can't be wearin' that KCM jersey down here in Texas...what are you thinking???

Good luck with the job hunting! When I lived in San Antonio I used to love driving up to Austin to run Town Lake. One of the best spots ever!

OK i have a question - you've done pool tris (right?) and ocean swims.. do you wear the same goggles for both, or are there specific I'm a triathlete that swims in the ocean googles?

i need help, and thought you might be able to answer!
