Hot Damn We Did It!!!

More later - but the short and sweet is that we (Donna and I) finished together in 7:30!! (For those of you keeping score at home that''s 41 minutes faster than even my "Pie in the Sky" goal!!!)  We had an AMAZING swim. My official time will be slower because it will include part of the crazy long transition - but I was out of the water at 29:33!  DUDE!  And it was beautiful.  The weather was perfect.  The worst part of the whole race for me was at mile marker 12.  I got seriously dizzy and was contemplating walking in.  (But I didn't.)  We're going to shower and then go back and see if we can see other bloggy peeps finish.  (Shirley Perly will be done - she looked FABULOUS with that wonderful smile. We were finishing our lap as she was heading out.  She was that fast.)  Hoping to see others too.  Peace - and THANK YOU for the mojo.  I felt it out there.  Love you guys! 

TODAY I LOVE: Being a half iron triathlete!
