Just an Average SKIRT

So I didn’t beat my time in Steamboat and actually came in about a minute slower but here’s what I’m taking into consideration and here’s what’s making it all seem so much better:

1) I trained for 2 weeks for this race
2) I rode my tri bike all of 2 times since IM
3) I’ve been swimming once a week
4) I had yet another self-inflicted traumatizing run in a pair of Mizuno’s (tied my shoes way too tight and the entire run felt like I had hot rolling pins under the balls of my feet) and no, I didn’t stop to loosen them I chose to suffer and learn my lesson the hard way
5) drank a bottle of wine between Friday and Saturday night, definitely not my normal pre-race regime

With all that, I finished 2:10:41 - 13th in my age group and 6th out of the water.

I’ve decided to race Tri for your Cause on the 6th to redeem myself….first things first, loosen the laces and cork the bottle.
