Is she a G8r or a fish?

9th place after a 24-year break from triathlons. Unbelievable! Must have been that lightining fast bike or that stinging yellow jacket tri-outfit.
It was a great day. Great weather. Great temperature. Great bike course. Great spectators (Thanks Terp and Abby). But as was the case at OBX, Azalea and every Saturday morning run, the best part of the day was hanging out with several other members of the greatest running group in NC. The Mitterling Milers are an awesome group of people who put a premium on celebrating each other’s achievements. A lot to be said for that.

I think it was the cheering squad (all of you & Abby, too) that had a lot to do with it…
with that said, everyone should know that both Rama and Alex dropped about 30 sec. off their swim time at Azalea. (Topher get your files ready)
And Karen Livingston got 1st place (that’s #1) in her age group.
And most importantly…. GIRLS ROCK!

KarenG8r, You rule! That is AWESOME. Not only did she win her age group, but she did it by over five minutes!!!! I guess a year off from TRIs made her even better!!!!
Wow, oh wow. You and Litl’ Bit stole the show!

Congrats to our Tri Team. They represented us well.
Abby and I had a great time!
I just skimmed the entries above…so I’m not sure if anyone mentioned that Litl’bit finished first in the master’s division. Not too bad for someone who took a 24-year hiatus from triathlons.
Everyone looked strong at the finish. Congrats again to everyone.

Well done to the 4 of you and txs to Rama for maintaining this site; it’s such a treat to be able to keep-up with the group’s activities and achievements from the other side of the country.

Wowie zowie. You guys (er, um, gals) are fast! It has always been great to run with fast women. And I mean fast.
Hey; where are we running this Saturday? Hope we can all gather again, like old times. My shoes are ready to go. Got some new ones. Peace out.
