Splash & Dash Pictures

My friends Kerry and Kimberle came to cheer me on last week. KP brought her camera. Errr...

Well with some editing I thought I could in fact post a few. I am not all that fond of the rolled out of bed at 5am, crazy hair, cloudy day look but what can you do about it. You can almost read those exact sentiments on my face in this picture.

My swim time wasn't really updated for my seeding so I scooted ahead of a few people that were vacilatting (sp?) on getting in the water. Actually the temperature of the outside pool was very pleasant on that cloudy morning.

I like this shot best. Sure you can't see my face. But with raised arms it does help them look less bulky.

See how you can barely see my legs here? I was getting tired. You can see the edge of the pool to the left. That means this is the end of 350 yards. Only 50 more to go. I don't know if I took my time in transition or if it was a case of trying to catch my breath. But K&K had enough time to loop around and catch me as I ran up the little hill from thre track to head out on the road towards the road.

And some 50+ minutes later it is over the finish line. I ran the last third of a mile or so. It was a longer distance for me than usual. I was really winded. I wish I could look like some of those others as they cross over the finish line. Oh well. Maybe next year.
