The Race Report Is "In The Mail"

OK - so it's really more like in my blogger draft folder - but I promise it's worth waiting a couple more days for. I'm trying to figure out how to scan something very fun to include in it. And to distract you I'll point out that while you've probably read RBR's Pac Grove RR, Donna has written one too! Visit them, let me catch up and learn how to be a tool user, and then check back in, ok?

PS - Mini rant about J-Lo: I think it's totally awesome that she decided to do a triathlon (a new challenge for her) to honor her new babies (the other new challenge for her). I've heard she's a diva. She might be. I don't know her. (In fact, I don't even know why she's famous - is she an actress? or from a famous family?) Maybe she did stop to redo her hair and nails in transition but you couldn't tell it by comparing her T-times with mine. I know that my nails were the last thing on my mind as I was waddling around disoriented trying to extract myself from an excess of neoprene. Maybe I just like that her pace (for a shorter race - have to throw that in) was not much faster than mine. Maybe she had the resources for a great coach and fancy gear. (I have no idea and I'm not willing to spend any time researching what kind of wheelset she had.) Ultimately, she - like any of us - had to do her own race under her own power. Her fame didn't make her swim easier or her ride shorter or her joy at finishing less. I hope. I also hope she'll do more triathlons. Then again, I hope everyone will do more triathlons. That's the kind of inclusive, non-purist I am. Come one, come all! Triathlon for the masses!
