Race Weekend

Sunday morning was my national champs. It started bright and early at 6am...of course I had no problem staying out of the mid-day heat! I was part of a 5-person lead-pack on the bike course...we worked hard together and increased our lead on the chasers. On the run, I felt great! The heat didn't affect me. I kept good form the whole 10K.

Julie Swail, Sarah Haskins, and Laura Bennett had a great run...they pushed each other right to the finish line. I ran my own pace and I finished in a solid 4th place! After the race, we started the national team summit meeting before a great dinner at the Cheesecake Factory.

This morning, we finished our meetings at noon. I picked up my rental car then picked up Katie and Sharron for a short trip to the NORTH SHORE! I've finally been to the North Shore...it was beautiful but the water was pancake-flat! So we didn't see any surfing, but we did walk in the water, check out the gardens, chow on some Mexican food, and stopped at the famous shaved-ice stand for dessert!
