Chips-n-Salsa anyone?

I didn't think I would ever look at my splits, but after a few sleeps it no longer seemed like such a bad idea. I did indeed have a cruddy "swim" and an even cruddier bike leg, but my run ROCKED - 68:50 from whenever they started the run clock.

I was feeling really good on the run and believe that I could have kept on going. So as of a few moments ago, I'm fixin' to test that theory at the Chips-n-Salsa half-marathon in early September.

Ladies and Gentlemen, after 20months of putting on my running shoes and heading out the door, I think I have finally become a runner. Now to work on becoming a cyclist and open-water swimmer...

  5. You were a runner as soon as you ran your first step.

    And an athlete as soon as you had a "desire" to be one...

    Ahh, the hardest part is always signing up, way to go.

  6. You're a triathlete no matter what. You excel at the running portion, but don't sell yourself short on the swim and bike- you rocked.

  7. Nice job! And I am pretty sure that you were a runner prior to this race... especially if you have been going for 20 months!

  8. Maybe.

    Do they really have the goodies at the finish line?

  9. You did awesome! And it takes a season or two to get that swim and bike down, so you are definitely on your way UP!

  11. For me the accomplishment is when I can say what you just did, "I'm a runner." Thats tough for me. Congrats! on rock'n the run.
