while i ended up not doing this race, i still suffered with my friends
by waking up before the crack of dawn for the second saturday in a row.
we packed up and headed down to arrowhead trails (in macon). billy,
joanna & melissa entered as a relay team and i think i counted 7 other
friends racing individually. the weather was perfect and not too hot to
start off - 'course those jumping in lake tobesofkee would have
preferred things a tad warmer! billy did AWESOME on the swim - she was
teh 2nd woman out of the water (and i think 5th overall person!)
melissa was next up on the bike - a difficult position to be in so
early, as many strong bikers came behind and needed to pass. let's just
say this course is not passing friendly so that was i'm sure quite
frustrating. joanna finished things off with a very solid run on a very
course filled with lots of climbing. they finished 3rd in the team
division.. meanwhile some of the BOD girls rocked the house, with kate
taking overall female champion and kari placing 2nd in her age group.
norma was also there, getting 1st in her AG and johnny took 3rd. i was
definitely jealous i couldn't be out there, but glad i could cheer on
all my friends!
