St. Croix!
Wow! Double Wow!! And Triple Wow Too!!!
This has been an exciting triathlon afternoon! Upon returning home from church we turned on the MSNBC coverage of the recent women's Olympic trials and I loved every second! Those gals make swimming 19 minutes look easy, not to mention running 35 minutes look like a jog in the park! Very inspiring!
And then I raced upstairs to see the results of St. Croix and was equally inspired. Holy cats!! We were listening to the online coverage of the race before leaving for church and I was so thrilled to hear that Bree Wee was in the top group of pro women. But then we had to leave while they were on the run. No worries though because she sure did finish it off with style!! As did Elizabeth in her first big pro race!!
And then my teammates had a field day too, coming in first and second in the women's 40-44 AG and my other teammate and close friend (who was also my teammate at Penn State) winning the 25-29 AG. Kona here they come!! (and I know Kona is absolutely brutal with HEAT, WIND, HUMIDITY, LAVA and the like but truthfully, St. Croix didn't exactly sounds like a walk in the park either... :)
So congrats to everyone! Makes me so excited to race again myself. THIS IS WHAT IT IS ALL ABOUT! The prize and reward for a lot of hard, long hours!
