This may be a week late - but need to catch up the blog. I also need to document reasons why I am so far behind in my
Grandma's Marathon training. I just love the RocketChix triathlon. The participants are so diverse in their athletic abilities. I like to see the women who just glide through the water making flip turns and are off on their bike before I even enter the water. There are many 1st timers in the race. My goal is always just to finish. My swimming is getting better - but I still spend the majority of the time doing the breast stroke.
Katie, who works at the same hospital that I do, entered the race with me. She is a much better swimmer than I am. She did great and beat me by 3 minutes. Because of the high Mississippi River - the Bike course had to be shortened. Overall, a great day, and a great race.
