Today was a good training "race" day! Two of my girlfriends and my hubby all did this race~Tons of friendly faces out! To start the day it was raining....so that turns into bad humidity here. The first 5k we went out as planned nice toodle. Kept pace about 09:30 and made it back to transition area. Jumped on bikes and headed out for the 31k. It was going perfectly until about a mile into the race and someone tried to come onto trail for a morning ride and almost took about 4 of us out...CRAZY!! Thankfully the rest of the ride was uneventful. A little bit of headwind but nothing bad. Nice flat course! Finished the bike a little faster pace then planned but it didnt seem to change anything. The last 5k my legs were definitely feeling the faster pace on bike than normal but still kept a sub 10 pace. It was really HOT by now and some areas didnt have shade. But at one of the water spots, that you pass in two directions, they were also passing out beer!! nothing is better than a little sip of beer when it is that hot!! So now heading back to transition area. Going along great and look up about 0ne mile away from finish and my hubby came back to run it in with me. All is all it was a really great day!! Loads of fun had!! AND to top it off Hubby won in his age group!!!! WOOHOO!! Thank you JH for picking up his award since we had to run off to get the boy!!!
