Placed 3rd overall female at Summer Festival triathlon

I got third place overall female at the Washington Summer Festival tri. My time was about 1:32. I’ll write more later…for now all I can say is everything went well! And – what a great race venue, perfect weather, and fun people. Here is a link to my race photos.

A young woman (20-25 AG?) came up to me after the race and that said I looked really strong during the race. I thanked her for the compliment and asked her about her race. Turns out, this was her first triathlon ever. She was so cute – and she even won a prize in her age group. Way to go!

I was dead last in my age group at my first triathlon, Riverwood 2005, and I even stopped during the run to fix my hair – LOL! Still…I was a winner in that race, because everyone who crosses the finish line in a triathlon is a winner! 🙂

Oh, and I did NOT get attacked by a shark today, despite the fact that I was basically shark bait – PHEW! Before leaving for the race, I put New Skin liquid bandage on my knee. I applied another coat right before the race. I also removed my silver toenail polish – didn’t want my toes to look like little fishies!
