Race Recap
Sep. 14th, 2008 06:52 pmIt was all good. Victory all around.
Personal Victory: I finished in approximately 3 hrs, 20 minutes, which is WAY faster than I was even hoping.

sirst finished in less than 4 hrs, his personal goal. AND he did it without goggles!!! Yikes! And for someone who's training was sporadic, included no bricks and was interupted with a car-accident.. all I can say is "Hot DAMN!" how can I get me a slice of that cardio base!!!
And for super fun stuff, we kept passing each other on the run laps. We were yelling encouragement across the barrier. That was so awesome. One of my best memories.
And SassyCat, our third member of Forward Momentum, is riding 150 miles this weekend to raise funds for MS. Woot! Woot!
Go Team Forward Momentum.
We's da fun in motion!
( the gorey, salty details )
We stayed at the Gosby House on Lighthouse ave. Totally awesome accomodations. And I must have +6 to my planning stats. I booked our accomodations without knowing where, in Pacific Grove, the race would be. I had no idea of the lay of the land. We were 4 blocks from the race. yeah.. I totally rock.sirst parked next to us and we walked our gear to the race. And in Santa Cruz we were 1/2 block from the transition. Yeah.. definitely +6 planning bonus. And the B&B... did I say it was awesome? It was.
next up: recover from race and then tackle pushing my mileage up on my tempo runs/rides, and fiddling with the speed training stuff I've gleaned. I'm excited and motivated. I am suspecting the Tri at Pacific Grove is going to happen again next year.
