"COLD" @ 68F. And, I really did tell you to HTFU b/c if us midwesterners and 90% of the country was racing in that weather we would be OVER the moon! SO hang on! :)) And, you DID awesome. So nice to see all your hard work pay off. You worked hard for this huge accomplishment!

I love running in weather like that, but I agree that freezing on the bike is no fun. And I had to laugh how you didn't bring warm enough clothing. Scott's parents live near Seattle and whenever we go visit them, I NEVER bring warm enough clothing. It is just really cold and damp out there.Rebecca DeWirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02415966459988763348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1403432524962865970.post-17640383476808467732009-08-18T04:01:57.086-10:002009-08-18T04:01:57.086-10:00I checked your results on Sunday, and I was SO hap...I checked your results on Sunday, and I was SO happy for you!

I guess that's the difference between a swimmer from AZ/HI and a runner from PA. :) ANYWAY - GREAT JOB!!! I too was very excited for you to hold so strong on that run and place so well!

Because of where we live I know that cold feeling well and I would have been wearing fleece on the bike.<br /><br />I don't know if it was because I was tracking you from an apple or what but I couldn't seem to find your green dot on the run. <br /><br />Now enjoy some time with Moana!Angela and Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15196403668528302122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1403432524962865970.post-6810091844648157382009-08-18T00:34:46.477-10:002009-08-18T00:34:46.477-10:00Yay Michelle!!

I am doing my first 1/2 marathon in November and my goal is to get under 2 hours - but your pace after swim and bike is amazing!!

If it makes you feel better (probably not because I'm not one of those fast girls), a 1.49 half marathon is almost a PB for me (standalone) so you seem wicked fast to me - my fastest HIM run is only a 2.08!!cherellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13643258879501877022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1403432524962865970.post-23329369208410828612009-08-17T18:06:30.991-10:002009-08-17T18:06:30.991-10:00i know you know how over the moon excited i am for...i know you know how over the moon excited i am for you!!! when i wasn't on the bike myself on sunday i was on my iphone tracking and trying to trakk (not so much on the iphone dangnabbit!)<br /><br />you're a super star and i am sooooooooo happy you got to have the race that was/is in you. : )cat.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09601828801615383629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1403432524962865970.post-780105712716982002009-08-17T17:29:43.536-10:002009-08-17T17:29:43.536-10:00Congratulations!!!
