Hey Team Tri Life!!! Well, it was quite a day for TTL athletes at the Strathmore Women's Only Tri!
- Richelle was second overall, she had the fastest bike split of the day, and she won her AG!
- Shannon brought down her swim and run time, and had a pr despite slower than usual transitions!!!!
- Sue took 50 seconds off her 100m swim time for a gigantic swim pr!!!!! (The swim was 500m rather than 750m the last time Sue did it, so I calculated it out to pace / 100m to show how much she's improved!) She's been struggling with injury and hasn't been able to bike or run as much as needed, but she has been swimming and it paid of!
- Maureen was not going to do the race. She's had some bad luck on her bike as of late, but Richelle talked her into giving it a go! Well, it's good she did as Mo had a relatively easy time getting a 2nd in AG award, and to top it off she did a handstand when she got her award! WOW!!!!
- Karen... she ROCKED too! Karen was the 8th woman overall and 3rd in the very competative women's 40 - 44 age group!
- Christine was a ROCK STAR!!! Most of you don't know her, but I've coached her for a year now through graduate school and the challenges of mother duties for her 2 kids! She was forced into this race by her sisters and bought into solid training in the last month. She had an 8 min PR over last year and was THRILLED!!!! Just imagine what she'll do if she trains for 2 months next year! The sky is the limit Christine!
- Finally, Toni Jaques, who many of you met at GWN is an honorary member of TTL and joining us officially in January! She was there in TTL gear for the world to see, and she was 5th overall and won the women's 40 - 44 AG! Toni and I run together a few times every week. She makes me a better runner and I help her with transitions! It's a fair trade I figure!
That's the update! CONGRATS to the team! What an EXCITING DAY!!!!!!!!
