Bridesmaid

Today was the Wild Cat sprint triathlon up in good old super clean
Lowell mass. Last night at our little team dinner kropelnicki decides
to race.
Race morning come pretty quick so its up take the dogs out and back
the bags, a little different then IM where I spent DAYS packing.
Anyways we are in the water getting ready toswin the 400 yards. I knew
this was going to be fast and it was for 350 yards until a lifeguard
on a surf board comes out of no where and I swam staright in the
corner. ( i have a good bump on my forehead) I lost a few seconds
going around her. Out of the water in 5:18 and 6th place, hammer
through transition and onto the bike in 2nd place. My legs are still
wrecked from ironman so I started out hard and fast knowning I was
going to slow the whole way. I kept jesse in veiw for the first 15
mins then I lost him on an uphill. 10.9 miles later I'm off the bike.
29 seconds later running shoes are on and I am running flat out
because I knew Hughes was coming hard 1.3 miles later I was at the
turned around and headed home.
I ended up second about 1 min off of Jesse and 3 mins ahead of third.
Its nice to race flat out for 48 mins. 2 weeks ago I still had 10 mins
to swim and another 9hrs of racing.
