duathlon win!

my all-female team (w/Joanna McConnell & Belinda Carroll) won the female division of the Currahee Adventure Duathlon today. it was a great beginners course with lots of mud. beautiful autumn scenery! we won only by a few seconds, with our training partners/friends Kristen, Belinda & Melissa coming in a close second. i feel sorta bad since we won a cool etched glass plaque and some swag, but try to justify it since we flatted out a few miles from the finish and would have otherwise won handily by several minutes.
