2nd Place

I took 2nd in the Clydesdale Group at the Scottsdale Triathlon yesterday. I took 1st in my division. How cool is that! I have never had a podium finish before, not that I got to stand on one since it probably would have been underwater from the weather.

According to results I was 2nd overall, 1st in my division; I finished 9/14 in the swim, second fastest split on the bike and had the fastest run split.

No big news on the swim. I improved by over 3 minutes from last year, a 30% improvement but still a ways to go. I am super excited about the bike split since I got fitted for my PHX at 5 o' clock the night before the race and only put twenty miles on her during the shakedown. As I have stated I am most confident about my running and glad I could hold 7:30 pace.

I found out online last night around 8:30 and celebrated with Mistress by having a glass of champagne and a high five.

Nice work Comman! I went to IHOP, ate eggs and pancakes, home for a shower and watched movies all day. Not a shred of guilt either. Haydon appreciated your help...and so did his Mom. Thanks.

Wow, that is so cool! Did you get a special trophy or anything? And if so, when do we see it?

Huge congrats!

Bunnygirl, no trophy but I have a prize waiting for me at the bike shop that sponsored the packet pick up. Normally it would be done after the race but they cancelled the awards ceremony due to inclimate weather.
