Patti finished this Tri in 3hours 59 minutes, this includes her 1/2 mile jont off course... (blond moment), apparently she was chatting and missed some course markers. Funny thing is a guy followed her after she made the comment not to follow her because she is blond and she will probably get lost. MANIFESTATION... Patti said this tri was so much harder than the last one. She does not plan on running this one again but we are all very proud of her for doing it this time!WAY TO GO SIS!
Now for my little race. The morning started out a bit etchy. I did not look over my bike yesterday and I had a little tire trouble today. I ended up spending some time waiting for Tex to get ready (surprise, surprise), during that time I could not get my tires aired up. we decided to stop by the bike shop but they were not open because it was Sunday. I finally thought my pump was broken so we stopped by Fred Myer to get a new one, no luck there either.
I made one more attempt to air up the tires and I was successful so it was time to get into the pool. Today was a chilly 62 degrees outside. Who now what the pool temp was but I can tell you it is a lot colder than it was. It was 40 laps for me, more than I have ever done. Tex also swam and he had a wide variety of strokes in his arsenal. My favorite... sitting in the hot tub during his transition while I finished my laps.

Does walking count?

Patti and I shared in the blond moment of the day award. She goes off course for a mile and takes a fellow contestant with her. I forget to loosen my stem to air up my bike tires.
YOU MAKE THE CALL.
Finally we were off!
This is me running. All by my lonesome since Sheree & Christy did not show up...
I still love you girls!

The view of my "Ocean"
My time was 2 hours 58 minutes. Pretty much right on the money with my Y-NOT-Tri time less the long transition for my tire issue.
All in all another great race!

Nice job....sorry, you were already in your run when we made it back :-( I should of done it from McCall (indoor pool)....too bad I didn't think about that until the drive home! Next time!!
Great job Lynnette! I'm a loser, sorry I didn't make it to help support you along "the ocean" run. Keep up the good work - you are an inspiration to all of us!
