threadwalkerOkay, serious exageration there, but I just got my results for my last race.
Number 1020 under "Find Athelete"
My overall run pace was 9:30. Suh-weet! I was so jacked up the week leading up to this race with a nagging calf issue and shin splints, I wasn't even sure I'd be able to run it all the way, never mind do the 10 min pace I was hoping for. Woot woot. I totally feel bad-ass.
I made all my personal goals for that race. I'm totally jazzed for next season. And not that it's really important, but it looks like I ranked 31 out of 61 in my age group, which is very respectable given it's my 3rd race and my longest one to date; especially given I didn't do any brick training (1).
The 10th ranked woman, who finished almost 50 minutes before me, was 43 yrs. That rocks! RAWR! We "older" chicks are totally bad-ass!
(1)Brick means you train 2 of the sports in immediate succession. For my other races I was routinely biking for half an hour to an hour and promptly following that up with a 40-50 min run. Didn't do that for this race.
