MAKE IT HAPPEN

This sport is good.
One of my favorite things about triathlon is the camaraderie and friendship. I recently met a new friend, Morgan, at a small race in Missouri. I absolutely love getting out of town, racing different terrain, and meeting new people. We met in transition- became instant friends-hung out after the race. That is how life should be all of the time.

Morgan grabbed 1st and I grabbed 2nd for the day. The race had the coolest chain ring trophy for the fastest female bike split, so I was completely stoked when they called my name as the winner. When splits were posted the next day, Morgan and I realized that she had beaten me on the bike by 13 seconds and was the actual "bike preme" winner. We had a good laugh, and I am going to box up that cool trophy and ship it her way. Good times, good times.

So, good race. I still can't swim, but I still love to swim so that is positive. As usual, my Achilles heel in the race as far as "racing" goes.

No bike computer- went completely by feel, which I LOVE. Hard is hard and too hard is too hard- don't need anything to tell me what that feels like. I am not riding hard at all in training, so I am never really sure what I will be able to do in a race, but everything is feeling good.

The run had some typical "Damie" characteristics...like squatting down and peeing in front of a church because I couldn't hold it anymore. Otherwise, I visualized Emma Moffatt and Emma Snowsill while running and just tried to get it done like an ITU girl. I thought it was a good effort for having logged 0000 days of speedwork since January.

Next post I will tell my big story of the past weekend, and why I am ordering a Road ID right this second. Oh, and life insurance. I am going to make sure I take care of that tomorrow as well.
