With our first 1/2 Ironman behind us and no aches and pains other than the sunburn to report I am happy to say I have registered for my second 1/2! I plan on doing the Patriots half in Williamsburg on Sept 6. I hope to have at least one of my team mates join me and both would be the greatest!
This past race was a harder course than any of us had planned on and all of our bike and run times reflected this. I have lots of training to do to improve on my time but it's well worth it. I really enjoyed the distance. All three disciplines were a challenge and putting it all together was amazing.
However, the most amazing thing was doing it with my team mates. We have only know each other for a little over a year or two, but at times it feels as if we has been put here for a reason so beyond us. This is something that ranks up there with getting married and having my child. I will always remember this trip and retell it to all that want to hear it. The memories will stay with me when I am 85 and unable to run 10 feet let alone 13.1 miles. We have a common bond that no one can take from us! I love them both and am so proud that I really can't express it in words. If this proves to be the last 1/2 we do as a threesome I don't care, we will keep racing others together. It will probably always be my favorite regardless of have many better courses or times I get in the future. Thanks for a great time girls! Keep on singing...I want to ride my bicycle....

You know, I had the same reflections. More than being a race, it was like a girls bonding weekend that just so happened to include a race.
And, um, no... I do not want to ride my bycicle. Seriously.
I think you guys are the greatest and I will never for get the weekend either. And on that note I registered for the international distance. Love you both!!!!!!!
