A surprisingly hot day here in St Louis made this one a challenge for me! I was hoping to finish closer to my PR of 1:50 but ... you take what you get! The first 6 miles were great until I started to cramp up a bit.
FINAL CHIP TIME: 2:20:41
4/23/11
What fun! This is the first time in my racing career where there has been heavy rain, hail, and tornado sirens all at the same time! But I finished in way under two hours, the time I had set for myself! No split times were taken, however! I just have my final time!
FINAL TIME: 1:40:58
5/1/11
I ran this one with my pup, Stella! I had a minor case of Shin issues but we finished strong, I think!
FINAL TIME: 30:12 (#8 out of 29 women in my age group!)
5/30/11
I ran the run in about 52:18 and by the time that Jim finished the tough 15 mile bike course, our chip time was 2:04:09. One thing that slowed both of us down -- hot, hot, hot!
6/4/11
I had a blast! Way muddier than last year! I finished #9 out of 39 women in my age group! I'll take it!
FINAL TIME: 51:07
6/11/11
I ran in 30:24 -- I had been hoping for a faster time but I just didn't have it in me.
6/19/11
Swim time (500 meters) was 14:35, bike time (15 miles) was 1:03:26, and run time (4.4 miles) was 49:12. The bike course was shortened because of flooding.
Overall time was 2:07:13.
8/07/11
Hot and humid and my first race post-Japan. Finished in 53:08 (84th woman out of 162 so I will take it!Every finisher gets a trophy -- I have 17th place and 20th place from previous years).
8/14/11
Hills, hills, hills ... and more hills! A little bummed that I was only 6th out of 10 women in my age group but the hills were pretty brutal (and it was hot!). One big mistake that I made -- I forgot my bike helmet and had to run to a 24 hour Walmart that was luckly nearby!
Segment Times: 7:35 (swim); 1:17:25 (bike); 36.58 (run)
Total Time: 2:01:54

Wow -- and to think that I thought the triathlon on August 14th was hilly! This one about killed me! Honestly, though, this was one of the first ones where I thought I would not be able to finish --- but I did! Humid and Hilly are the two buzz words for this race. The bad? There were 18 women in my age group and I finished 16th. The good? I finished.
Segment Times: 10:55 (swim); 1:29:19 (bike); 38:33 (Run)
Total Time: 2:18:47
9/18/11
This was actually sort of fun for being a wet and rainy day! I met a nice woman and we ran together without stopping the entire time (I used to run 5 miles in about 45 minutes but I will take the 52!). I love my new bike -- I passed people! How cool is that!
Total Time: 2:16:17
10/2/11
Perfect weather though a wee bit cold! The only bad part was a flat tire at the beginning of the bike portion but the best part were all the great friends and family who came out! So cool! Swim time -- 14:48, cycle time -- 1:22:50, run time -- 46:46).
Total Time: 2:24:24

End results -- Swim was 7:06, Bike was 23:00, Run was 33:12. I had some trouble on the bike -- felt dizzy the last mile and almost couldn't finish but I gutted it out. Sat for about 2 minutes before I took off for the treadmill. Not sure what happened but maybe I didn't drink enough water. (2nd in my age group, though!)
Total Time: 1:11:28
11/13/11
Swim -- 13:38, Bike -- 28:29, Run -- 30:44. I felt pretty strong and managed to not feel dizzy this time!
Total Time: 1:17:11 (1st place in my age group! OK, there were only 3 of us but still -- it counts!)
11/20/11
I can't believe how strong I felt in this race -- my best 5K time since early 2010. Dianna is slowly coming back! (or maybe I was so terribly cold -- it was definitely freezing this morning -- that I ran faster to get to the warm car?
Total Time: 30:03
11/20/11
Swim -- 5:58, Bike -- 20:51, Run -- 29:25. An almost 8 minute improvement from last week! Wee!
