I seriously love this picture because of Gwen in the background and how she's smiling and looking up at me like she was proud of me. Ahhh. So the course was interesting. It was laps around ASU east campus. But a section of it was over this piece of crap road that was AWEFUL!!! Potholes, gravel, peeling pavement etc.!!! I wasn't expecting it, so as I was turning onto this bad section of road, a pothole sent me skidding out on my side. All I could think of was the time advantage it was giving those behind me, so I jumped back on my bike and kept going.
I didn't realize how bad I was scraped up, but I sure felt it as I continued to ride. The wind was killing me!
Then the first aid guy gave me alcohol wipes to clean it up with. After one swipe, and the BURN that accompanied it, I decided to wait until I got home so I could use my No More Owies. Good choice on my part!

You are awesome!! Look at your hot little runners body!
I really need to get into running more. We'd like to do a marathon of some sort, but I guess it'll have to wait until baby #3 comes and I can actually run & train.
Look at you still looking gorgeous after running a tri. Your making me wish I could do all this stuff right now! Jealous:)
Those pics don't really do that road rash justice. Kris was a big hit with everyone that she finished the race (with a killer time) even after her wipe-out. That's my girl.
Didja get a shirt? Are you obsessed now? I'm scared for Saturday!!
That IS a really cute picture with Gwen staring up at you so happy! Good job placing 3rd, even with your fall!! I'm jealous I dont have your determination.
