This would mark the first time I've placed in a road race or a tri when there were actually more than 3 people there. I know it's silly to care, but I'm pretty excited. I asked them to send me my award. :)

I remember Ms. 25-29 Winner. She passed me in the last half mile. I think if I had known that (a) I was currently winning my age group and (b) she was in my age group, I would have pushed it. But of course, I didn't...and if I remember correctly, I was pretty much giving all I had. As in, I was freaking dying out there.

So, pretty cool, eh? I wish I had been there to hear my name.

Don't worry; I'm not getting all involved with the award stuff, because it's definitely, without a doubt, not about that. From all the flute and music stuff I've done my whole life, I know that better than most. It's just fun to once in a while see your name in lights.

Awesome job! There may be a great deal more to this than placing in the top three, but that doesn't make it any less cool.

Winning some kind of award is cool, even if it's sort of cheesy, like the award I got for my first race. Congratulations on placing so well.

That rocks! You should be proud! I know, that's totally the beauty of the tri...we all have our ages written on our legs, so you can see if someone passing is "worth catching." hee hee :)
