Motley Monday: Me and Maggs... and More!
I know, I know, this isn't THE race report, but think of is as a primer. I'm waiting to post the real deal (tomorrow) when I get a few photos from my Dad and finalize my thoughts for each leg...
But I had to show at least somethin' from the race right? I mean I gotta milk this puppy! So Maggs aka SunSafety Barbie came out from Hawaii to do the race as well. And it was great to have a racing buddy. Here's some shots of our adventure:
Us at pre-race packet pick up, and she's giving me some SCAPE sunscreen. I was STOKED, I've seen it so much in bloggyland I had to try some (and it worked fabulously race day):
Our T2 transition spots. Mine are the Newtons and the pink ribbon (to know where to go), hers is the one on the right. The one with the FLIP FLOPS! She raced the swim/bike only because of a potential hip problem. She didn't want to push it, especially with Kona coming up for her in Oct:
A race morning picture walking to T1:
Putting on the wet suits in our T1 area. I'm the one with the light blue top and pig tails:
Us ~10 min before our race start:
And now...sub four min before our start:
And we're Off! (that's me out front...NOT, but that probably is Maggs):
At the finish line. The GLORIOUS finish line!!:
And last, but certainly not least...here's us back in Sonoma celebrating with chips and Margarita's (I was cravin' the salt!!!). When in Sonoma drink... Margarita's right? And you bettcha I wore my finisher's medal proudly (I actually thought it might help get us a free drink, but it didn't..;-)
So there's the primer. The real deal comes out tomorrow. Along with a giveaway this week, and a review of this skirt I can't WAIT to try (along w/another giveaway)! Literally just got it in the mail about ten minutes ago:
Woo-hoo! I'm feelin' the post race love over here if ya can't tell! Do you know the high I'm talkin' about? ;) Ciao bellos/as!
