Results:

I thought I'd let you know that I did great at the Triathlon and felt great afterwards... they already posted the times, and I wanted to share with you my difference from last year:

2004 - swim 33:28/bike 1:13:02/run 59:22/ total 2:58:50
2005 - swim 17:15/bike 53:09/run 40:18/ total 2:00:29 (My goal was 2 hours, so that was PERFECT)

I was able to complete about 2/3 of the run (I stopped to take walking breaks along the way), but still am very, very happy with how the whole thing went.

There is one short, very steep hill on the bike portion where I usually get off the bike and walk. This year I actually was able to make it all the way up - I almost started crying because I think I even surprised myself. It’s amazing what consistent activity and workouts will do to a girl, and I really can't thank you enough for a really great summer and the best training I have ever done.

Thanks!
