Paul keeps trying but I guess it's just not my time to go yet and I have to thank my guardian angles for letting me survive another trail run with Greg and Joe. Paul had to take the injured Runs with him on a hike while Judy and myself ran with the ultra runners. I felt I did much better this time around since I could keep up with them, now this does not mean I want to encourage another run with them either, lol! Got sandwiched between the two of them going down a hill and it is not a good place to be. Trying to keep up with Joe and then had Greg on my heels it felt like I was flying down that damn hill. Joe said I should pace him.....now is that a compliment or not, hmmm. I will take it as one since I am slow and he needs to slow down for his upcoming 100 mile race so I will go with that ;)

Had a good run with Don who set a good pace for us. Started out with Paul but he had to leave for hockey and then it got me wondering why he didn't ask me to lead the troops.....thought it over and decided it was a good call on his part, lol! Lived up to our team name "The Runs". So close to the finish line but just couldn't run anymore for obvious reasons and quickly started looking for a port a potty which was found behind the cricket players. Ahhh, relief....

Completed my second triathlon with a new personal best of 1:12. Swim was better for me. Bike was okay but still hard. Just difficult for me to catch my breath after the swim. There were a few times when I actually wished I would crash into the ditch which would give me a legit excuse why I couldn't finish, lol! Got it done though which is a good thing for me. Really need a better bike so I can compete on a better playing field with others who do try a tri and you know they should be doing the sprint based on their bikes. I think they just want to make the newbies like myself look bad because they can beat us so well.
