I was a little nervous going into this race three weeks off of Ironman Canada. My left hip flexor has been bothering me and I haven't been feeling terribly motivated (despite Clearwater looming overhead). that said, I do this race every year and decided f it, I'm going to just go and have fun. I even ordered myself a new "fun" outfit to wear in the ( Read more... )

holy crap WHERE DID YOU GET THAT?!?!?!?!?

also:
*I also wanted to add in a little note here. Dudes, it's okay to be passed by a girl on a bike. If a girl passes you, let her complete the pass. If need be, you can pass her back later but them's the rules. I really don't appreciate when I get yelled and cussed at by some dude who starts pacing me when I'm half-way through a pass and I ask him to please back off.
biggest pet peeve ever.
you pass then they draft and pass back and you're at risk for getting tagged.
I really hate that.
And great race!

I got it from splish! Seriously the cutest suits ever. I am trying to get sponsored by them but so is like, every other girl on the planet so i doubt i have much of a chance.

And yea, IMC was pretty much 112 miles of jess passes dude, dude passes back in a blazing fury, jess passes dude back and never sees him again. ha ha

My very first tri I was running with this guy and we started chatting. When he realized I started in a wave 10 minutes AFTER him he took off. I was like dude, you can't make up 10 minutes in 2 miles...

I've thought about it and I don't think I would. Right now, I'm really not nearly fast enough and I would be a truly back of the pack pro. Even if I committed to it, I would never be a top pro just because I will never be able to run as fast as those girls.

Plus, I do this for fun, I feel like if I started to work towards going pro, I would get too myopic in my focus and stop having fun.
